If You're Going Through Hell is the second studio album released by country singer Rodney Atkins. It has been certified platinum by the RIAA for U.S. shipments of one million copies.

The album's first four singles — "If You're Going Through Hell (Before the Devil Even Knows)", "Watching You", "These Are My People" and "Cleaning This Gun (Come On In Boy)" — were all Number One hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs between 2006 and 2008. In addition, "If You're Going Through Hell" and "Watching You" were declared by Billboard as the Number One country songs of 2006 and 2007, respectively. "Invisibly Shaken", originally recorded by Lee Greenwood on his 2003 album Stronger Than Time, was released in early 2008 as the album's fifth single, but it peaked at No. 41.
