This I Gotta See is the third studio album by country music singer Andy Griggs. Released in 2004 as his final album for RCA Records, the album produced three singles: "She Thinks She Needs Me", "If Heaven" and the title track.

Four of this album's tracks have been recorded by other country music acts. "Careful Where You Kiss Me" by Lonestar on their 2006 album Mountains, and "No Mississippi" by Gary Nichols on his self-titled debut album, which was not released. Additionally, "My Kind of Beautiful" was recorded in 2008 by the group One Flew South on their debut album Last of the Good Guys, from which it was released as a single.
