Michigan Rain is the debut album from Gregg Alexander, released in 1989 by A&M Records.

The album was originally supposed to be titled Save Me From Myself, but the title was changed at the last minute, because, as Alexander explained, "[...] the cover was me standing on a bridge with a broken mirror on my wrist and it was before the suicide chic thing."^[2]

"In The Neighborhood" was released as a single, backed with "Don't Cry, Mrs. Davis".

Five tracks from the album ("Michigan Rain", "Loving You Sets Me Free", "Save Me From Myself", "Cruel With Me" and "The World We Love So Much") were later re-released on Alexander's 1992 album Intoxifornication.
