Plugged In is a 1994 album by Welsh rock musician Dave Edmunds.{{Cite web|url=https://trouserpress.com/reviews/dave-edmunds/|title=Dave Edmunds}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-10-19-ca-52056-story.html|title=A Do-It-Yourself Musician : Studio Wizard Dave Edmunds Prefers to Rock on His Own--at Home|date=October 19, 1994|website=Los Angeles Times}} The album is the last completely new studio album released by Edmunds to feature vocals.
On Plugged In, Edmunds returned to the "one man band" approach of his early solo records; all of the instruments and vocals on the album are performed by him via overdubbing.{{Cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1994/09/02/edmunds-plugged-in-but-light-not-on/23189395-e0bd-442a-9a16-37919c4699fd/|title=EDMUNDS 'PLUGGED IN' BUT LIGHT NOT ON|first=Mark|last=Jenkins|date=September 2, 1994|via=www.washingtonpost.com}}
