23am is a 1997 album by composer Robert Miles.

The instrumental arrangements on 23am are more complex than those on the earlier Dreamland, involving real instruments such as the saxophone and trumpet as an addition to the synthesizers. The music is also much less beat-driven; the main sections of a number of the vocal-based songs are structured like pop songs, while the segueing interludes between songs are generally structureless, with no beats at all.

The resulting album is a continuous ambient piece, in contrast to the trance music aesthetics of Dreamland.

The album's titled was named after a message recorded by his broken answering machine.
