Between the Buried and Me is the debut studio album by American progressive metal band Between the Buried and Me. It was produced by Jamie King and was released on April 30, 2002 through Lifeforce Records. The album contains re-recordings of all the songs that were on the group's 2001 three-track demo: "What We Have Become", "More of Myself to Kill" and "The Use of a Weapon". The album was remixed and remastered in 2020.

The songs on the album demonstrate numerous concepts—one of which, the song "Arsonist", was written about their strong feelings against the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, which has become well known as a controversial religious organization and hate group.

A music video was released for the song "Aspirations" and was directed by Ian Larson.

Victory Records would later release several vinyl editions of the album.
