#4 Record is an album by the Australian rock band, You Am I, released in 1998. The album reached #1 on the local albums chart on its release. This was You Am I's third consecutive album to debut at #1 on the Australian charts, a record at the time. The album contains "Heavy Heart", one of the band's best known songs which has been covered by Paul Kelly, Ben Lee, Lisa Mitchell, TZU and the Supersuckers.

You Am I recorded the album with producer George Drakoulias, who Tim Rogers later reflected put the band "through the wringer", with high standards for the scansion of the vocal performance that he wanted to capture on the recordings.[1] The album was recorded during an unhappy period for the band. "It was the worst recording experience. Rusty, Andy and I didn't hang out." Rogers later said.[2]
