In the Vicinity of the Heart is the sixth studio album by the American country music band Shenandoah.

Their only full studio album for Liberty Records, it was released in November 1994 (see 1994 in country music).

It is also the final studio album to feature founding members Stan Thorn and Ralph Ezell.

The first single from the album, "Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart", features duet vocals from Alison Krauss.

He highlighted "I Wouldn't Know" and the title track as standouts for their production and vocal performances, but thought that the song selection otherwise followed too closely to that of Under the Kudzu and that the album did not seem to take any chances.
