The Day Will Come is an album by English jazz pianist Howard Riley, which was recorded and released on CBS in 1970, and reissued on CD by Columbia in 1999.

It features his working trio of that period, with bassist Barry Guy and drummer Alan Jackson.

The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the record one of its rare crown accolades and notes that "the introduction of Barry Guy as co-composer is the key factor in our very high rating for this record.

It is he who balances the rather tender and melancholic cast of Riley's playing.

"[1] In a review for Record Collector, Ian McCann stated that, in relation to Angle, recorded the previous year, The Day Will Come "boasts one of the great baffling sleeves of its era, but has more musical clarity: witness the pensive 'Sad Was the Song' and 'Winter'.
