Shadows Are Security is the third studio album by American metalcore band As I Lay Dying. The album was released on June 14, 2005, through Metal Blade Records, and was produced by lead vocalist Tim Lambesis, guitarist Phil Sgrosso and Steve Russell. It is the band's first album to feature new members Nick Hipa and Phil Sgrosso, who would appear on all of the band's following releases until their hiatus in 2014. It is also the band's first album to chart on the Billboard 200, debuting (and peaking) at #35 July 2, 2005, and spending 9 weeks on the chart.

The album's title is derived from a lyric in the song Control Is Dead.
