"You'll Accomp'ny Me" is a song written and recorded by American rock singer Bob Seger. It appears on his album Against the Wind.

It reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100.

An entry in the Encyclopedia of Classic Rock describes the song as "forecast[ing] his career direction by crossing over onto Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart". Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic wrote in a review of Against the Wind that "the record really starts to kick into high gear with 'You'll Accomp'ny Me,' a ballad the equal of anything on its two predecessors." Jim Harrington of The Mercury News selected "You'll Accomp'ny Me" as one of Seger's 10 best songs and as his "best love song." Billboard said that it "starts out as a melodic ballad and gains almost inspirational momentum" by the end. Cash Box called it a "genteel mid-tempo romance," stating that "drum and woodblock set the rhythm, but piano and swelling organ provide the passion." Record World predicted the single would reach the Top 10, saying that Seger's inimitable vocals are backed by gospel-like chorus colors."
