We Ran is a 1998 rock album by American singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt. It lasted only two weeks on the Billboard album chart, peaking at a disappointing #160. Despite positive reviews, this release was a rare commercial failure for Ronstadt with US sales of approximately 60,000 copies.

This disc was taken out of print in 2009.

Ronstadt interprets a mixture of rock song material, including rock ballads, by various songwriters from Bruce Springsteen, John Hiatt and Doc Pomus to Bob Dylan.
