In Memory is an EP by American heavy metal band Nevermore. It was recorded in April and May 1996 and released on July 23, 1996. It features a Bauhaus medley. It was re-issued in 2006 with five bonus tracks, which are all demos of songs from the next full-length album, The Politics of Ecstasy.

"Matricide" and "The Sorrowed Man" had both been previously recorded under the titles "Mother Earth" and "Forever", respectively, in a 1990 demo by Sanctuary, as well as with their current titles in the 1992 Nevermore demo entitled Utopia.

It was their first release to feature Pat O'Brien on rhythm guitars and also the first in which Van Williams played all drum tracks.
