"23am" is a 1997 album by composer Robert Miles.

The composition of "23am" began from the "Dreamland" tour, during which Miles collected audio samples from every city visited. Aside from being based on the experiences of these travels (in the liner notes, Miles emphasizes the problems that society has brought onto itself),Miles, Robert (1997). In "23am" [CD liner notes] . Deconstruction Ltd.] Miles has also said that it is based on the human life cycle from birth to death.cite web | author = | year = 2006 | url = http://www.saltrecords.com/recordings/biography/?id=1 | title = Robert Miles - Biography | format = | work = | publisher = S:alt Records | accessdate = 2007-01-18 | accessyear = ] The album also contains four vocal songs, which make up Miles's first lyrical work, written in Italian and translated into English.

The instrumental arrangements on "23am" are more complex than those on the earlier "Dreamland", involving real instruments such as the saxophone and trumpet as an addition to the synthesizers. The music is also much less beat-driven; the main sections of a number of the vocal-based songs are structured like pop songs, while the segueing interludes between songs are generally structureless, with no beats at all.

The album's title was named after a message recorded by his broken answering machine.
