In the Army Now is the seventeenth studio album by English rock band Status Quo, released in 1986. It is the first album with the post-Live Aid lineup which features new members bassist Rhino Edwards and drummer Jeff Rich.

The song "Speechless" is a cover of the fourth track of Ian Hunter (ex-Mott the Hoople singer)'s 1983 album All of the Good Ones Are Taken, while John David, writer of "Rollin' Home" and "Red Sky", was originally in Love Sculpture & continued to work periodically with Dave Edmunds after the band split in 1970. "In the Army Now" was first recorded in 1981 by Dutch duo Rob and Ferdi Bolland.
