"I'll Take the Rain" is the third and final single from American rock band R.E.M.'s 12th studio album, Reveal (2001). Released on November 19, 2001, the song reached number 44 on the UK Singles Chart but failed to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song was included on the album r.e.m.IX and also performed on MTV Unplugged in 2001.

The single's music video, directed by David Weir, represented the first time the band has released an entirely animated music video. The clip is suitably moody to match the pace of the song, and follows the adventures of a crown-bearing dog and a living wooden cart (shown on the single cover) as they explore an island.

All songs were written by Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Michael Stipe.
