Revés/Yo Soy (English: Backwards/I Am) is the fourth studio album by the alternative rock band Café Tacvba, released on July 20, 1999, by Warner Music Group. It consists of two albums: Revés, an album featuring instrumental works by the band; and Yosoy, a collection of songs sung by Rubén Albarrán and Emmanuel del Real. It is considered the first Iberian post-rock album.

The album has not been released on digital platforms due to administrative issues related to the record label at the time. The band had the mastering rights to the album "Revés", however they did not obtain the rights to "Yo Soy", which complicated its release on digital platforms. Some songs from the album Revés/Yo Soy can be heard in digital format on his compilation album, Tiempo Transcurrído (2001), the songs are, 13/Revés, La Locomotora, Dos Niños, La Muerte Chiquita and 2.
