"Eye in the Sky" is a song by British rock band the Alan Parsons Project, released as a single from their sixth studio album, Eye in the Sky (1982), in May 1982. It entered the US Billboard charts on 3 July and hit No. 3 in October 1982,[5] No. 1 in both Canada and Spain, and No. 6 in New Zealand, becoming their most successful release. The instrumental piece "Sirius" segues into "Eye in the Sky" on the album. On the single release, "Eye in the Sky" appears on its own, with "Sirius" edited out.

In 2019, Alan Parsons recorded a version in Catalan, under the title "Seré els teus ulls al camí" ("I'll be your eyes on the road"), for the CD edited by La Marató de TV3, a telethon devoted to raising funds for the research of incurable diseases.[6][7]
