At Dawn is the second album from My Morning Jacket. The record is a turning point for the band in its steps toward more ambitious song lengths and eclecticism in other genres. The album features keyboards performed by Danny Cash. Some editions included a bonus disc of demos later reissued along with tracks from the first album as "At Dawn & Tennessee Fire Demos".

In 2021 a 20th-anniversary edition was released by Darla Records with a bonus disc containing a live acoustic solo set by Jim James.
