In Step is the fourth studio album by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, released in 1989. The title In Step can be seen as referring to Vaughan's new-found sobriety, following the years of drug and alcohol use that eventually led Vaughan into rehabilitation. It was also Vaughan's final album with Double Trouble and the last album to be released during his lifetime. In 1990, he recorded an album with his brother, Jimmie Vaughan, called Family Style; later that same year, Stevie Ray Vaughan died in a helicopter crash.

At the 32nd Annual Grammy Awards in 1990, the album won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Recording.[2]

In 1999, a reissue of the album was released which contains an audio interview segment and four live bonus tracks.
