My Mind’s Eye is the eighth album by the Comsat Angels, released in 1992 on RPM Records, and in 1993 on Caroline Records in the US. It was rereleased by Thunderbird Records in 2001, and remastered with additional tracks by Renascent in February 2007.

This was the last album the Comsat Angels produced with their original lineup. Around the time My Mind’s Eye was released, bass player Kevin Bacon left the band to devote more time to his career as a music producer. For some of the tracks, Bacon was not involved in the writing and only came in to record them. He would be replaced by Terry Todd for the band's last album and tour in 1994-95.

When Comsats frontman Stephen Fellows was asked which of the band's albums was his favorite, he named My Mind’s Eye. In a 1997 interview, Fellows said, "My Mind’s Eye for me is the sort of apex of the group and although it didn't do that well and there wasn't a great deal of press surrounding it, the reviews we got for that were among the best we ever had".
