I Know That Name is the twelfth solo studio album by the English singer-songwriter Paul Carrack. It was originally released in 2008 on Carrack's own Carrack-UK label.
A reissue billed as the "Ultimate Version" was released in 2014. This reissue featured two additional tracks, replaced six tracks with newly remixed versions, and altered the running order.
Carrack originally recorded the song "Eyes Of Blue" on his 1996 album Blue Views. The version on I Know That Name is an entirely new recording.

AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine opines: "I Know That Name glides by on a mellow, soulful groove ... It's easy-rolling and even-handed, offering no surprises but plenty of comfort if you've ever been a fan of any of Carrack's work over the years."[1]
William Pinfold of Record Collector notes that I Know That Name "should further bolster [Carrack's] reputation as a first-rate singer, songwriter and keyboardist...an album of mature, well-performed modern soul and soft rock."[2]
