'''''Fire in the Dark''''' is the third studio album by American [[country music]] artist [[Billy Dean]]. It was released in 1993 on [[SBK Records|SBK]]/[[Liberty Records]] and like his previous two albums, it was certified gold by the [[RIAA]].

Singles from this album include "Tryin' to Hide a Fire in the Dark", "I Wanna Take Care of You", "I'm Not Built That Way" and a cover of [[Dave Mason]]'s No. 12 1977 pop hit "We Just Disagree". Also covered here is [[James Taylor]]'s "Steamroller Blues". Of these singles, "Tryin' to Hide a Fire in the Dark" and "We Just Disagree" were both top ten hits on the country music chart.
