"In the Heart of the Moon" is a 2005 record by Malian musicians Ali Farka Touré (guitar and vocals) and Toumani Diabaté (kora).

The album includes twelve tracks, based mostly on Songhai traditions of the north of Mali and the Bambara traditions of southern Mali and neighboring Guinea, harking back to the period immediately before independence. The album was recorded without rehearsals; both musicians claimed that the music flowed naturally and effortlessly, Touré being long acquainted with Diabaté's family and musical traditions.

Two of the songs have vocals sung by Touré. Various musicians played on some of the tracks, including Ry Cooder, Joachim Cooder, Orlando "Cachaito" López and others.

The album was nominated for the BBC Awards for World Music Album of the Year Award 2006 but lost out to another Malian duo (Amadou and Mariam, with Dimanche à Bamako).
