"Eye Know" is a 1989 single from US hip hop trio De La Soul's debut album 3 Feet High and Rising. It peaked at number 14 on the UK singles chart. It was not released as a single in the United States.

The song is an upbeat love song featuring guitar and horn samples from The Mad Lads' "Make This Young Lady Mine", whistle sample from Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay", guitar, keyboard and vocal samples from Steely Dan's "Peg" and drums from Lee Dorsey's "Get Out of My Life, Woman".

This song was used on the British television programme Match of the Day 2 as background music during the showing of Saturday's goals from 2004 to 2008.

The B-side "The Mack Daddy on the Left" features David Jolicoeur's 12-year old cousin Jeff as a guest rapper. He later appeared as Philly Black on "The Sauce" from the album AOI: Bionix.
