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, and contains re-recordings of all the songs that were on the group's 2001 3-track demo.

The musical style featured on their debut showcases the band's early metalcore influences, particularly its use of breakdowns and considerably less clean vocals. Starting with The Silent Circus, the band started going in a progressive metal direction, while still retaining some of the metalcore style from their debut.

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

A music video was released for the song "Aspirations".
