Inside is a live album by American flautist and composer Paul Horn, released in 1969 by Epic Records. It was recorded inside the Taj Mahal in Agra, India on April 25, 1968, during Horn's visit to produce a documentary about Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Transcendental Meditation. It features Horn playing solo flute with an unidentified guard of the tombs who provides Hindu chants. The album marks a major stylistic departure for Horn who achieved initial notoriety as a jazz musician, both solo and with his group, the Paul Horn Quintet.

Inside became a commercial success, selling over one million copies worldwide and became one of the earliest examples of world fusion and New-age music. In the 1980s, the album was reissued with new artwork as Inside the Taj Mahal. In 1989, to commemorate the album's twentieth anniversary, Horn returned to the Taj Mahal and recorded a sequel, Inside the Taj Mahal II.
