Water Sign is the third album by keyboardist Jeff Lorber as leader of his band "The Jeff Lorber Fusion". Released in 1979, this was Lorber's first album on Arista Records.

The backing track for the song "Rain Dance" has been sampled for the 1997 Lil' Kim song "Crush on You", the 1997 SWV song "Love Like This" and the 2013 Ariana Grande song "Right There". Lorber re-recorded the song, this time with vocals by Irene Bauza, as the song "Rain Dance/Wanna Fly" on his 2010 album Now Is the Time.
