Man in Black is the 38th overall album by country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1971. Many of the songs on the album contain political references, either broad or specific, while the title song refers both to Cash's tendency to wear black at live shows and to the tumultuous times in which the song was created, implying the Vietnam War. The album's name also eventually became Cash's informal nickname, given to him by the public. Two tracks — "Man in Black" and "Singin' in Vietnam Talkin' Blues" — were released as singles, the former peaking at No. 3 on the Country chart. The first track features Billy Graham.

Man in Black es el decimoséptimo álbum del cantante estadounidense de country Johnny Cash lanzado en 1971 por la compañía discográfica Columbia Records. Aunque Cash siempre viste de negro para sus actuaciones en vivo el disco posee referencias políticas (específicas o generales) más el obscuro tiempo en el cual Cash hizo estas canciones (Guerra de Vietnam). El nombre del álbum se volvió el apodo informal de Cash que le dio la propia audiencia. Del disco se desprenden dos canciones exitosas "Man in Black" y "Singin' in Vietnam Talkin' Blues".
