Shock'n Y'all is an album by country music superstar Toby Keith, released in 2003. The album features 10 studio tracks and the 2 live "Bus Songs". The album has been certified 4× Multi-Platinum in the U.S. for shipments in excess of 4 million units.

The album title is a play on shock and awe - the phrase used by the US military to describe the initial air offensive against Saddam Hussein's Iraq in 2003.^{[citation needed]}

"I Love This Bar", "American Soldier" and "Whiskey Girl" were the three tracks from the album to be released as singles; all reached Number One on the Hot Country Songs charts. "I Love This Bar" has inspired a chain of restaurants that Keith has launched under the name I Love This Bar And Grill.

Keith wrote or co-wrote 11 of the 12 songs with his frequent collaborator Scotty Emerick, who also sings backup on the live tracks.
