High and Mighty is the ninth studio album released by British progressive rock band Uriah Heep.

"High and Mighty" was the last Uriah Heep album to feature vocalist and founding member David Byron, who was subsequently fired due to his troubles with alcohol. The album was not terribly well-received, as stylistically it veers from the vein of experimental rock and ventures into slightly more mainstream territory, i.e. no overly lengthy compositions and a decided lack of songs dealing with fantastical subject matter.

John Wetton handles vocal duty on One Way Or Another.
