Wish You Were Here is the second studio album of American country music artist Mark Wills. Released on May 5, 1998, on Mercury Nashville Records, the album produced four singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts, all of which made top 10: "I Do (Cherish You)", "Don't Laugh at Me", "Wish You Were Here", and "She's in Love". The album itself peaked at #8 on the Billboard Top Country Albums charts and #74 on The Billboard 200. It also received RIAA platinum certification for U.S. sales of one million copies.

The title track, which was the third release, became Wills's first Number One hit on the country charts in mid-1999. "I Do (Cherish You)" was later covered by 98 Degrees on their album 98 Degrees and Rising, from which it was also released as a single.
