Behind the Eyes was a 1997 (see 1997 in music) album by singer-songwriter Amy Grant. The main theme of Behind The Eyes is optimism, that there's a light at the end of the tunnel. During this time in her life, however, Amy was going through strain in her marriage with Gary Chapman, and some of those feelings showed. A year after this albums release, Grant would end her 19-year-long marriage to Chapman, and this album preceded that.

The album was listed at #44 in the 2001 book, CCM Presents: The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music.
