Kick at the Darkness is a tribute album to Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn, released in 1991. The title comes from a line in the song "Lovers in a Dangerous Time", gotta kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight.

The album was released on Intrepid Records. Due to the album's success, Intrepid compiled a Joni Mitchell tribute album, Back to the Garden, the following year.

The Barenaked Ladies' rendition of "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" was their first significant chart hit in Canada.
