In Our Gun is the third studio album by UK band Gomez in 2002. It made the top 10 of the UK album charts as well as the top 50 of the Australian album charts. The single "Shot Shot" charted in the UK top 40 and made the top 20 in Portugal. The album also made the Billboard Heatseekers chart.

The album received positive reviews from critics; PopMatters rated the album a perfect score and said "everyone who doesn’t like this record is insane in a bad way. Screw Wilco; In Our Gun is sounding very much like the Album of the Year."[6]
