In Rock We Trust is the sixth studio album by American hard rock/heavy metal band Y&T, released in 1984 through A&M Records. The album became the band's highest charting album at the time, reaching No. 46 on the Billboard 200 chart.

This album was remastered and re-released on the band's official website in 2006. This edition also includes the studio version of "Go for the Throat", which had never before appeared on a Y&T album. The song originally appeared in live form on 1985's Open Fire album, and was the B-side of their "All American Boy" single. It also appeared on the 1986 hunger benefit Hear 'n Aid compilation album Stars.
