I Have a Dream (på svenska: Jag har en dröm) är ett offentligt tal som hölls av den amerikanske medborgarrättsaktivisten Martin Luther King. I talet förklarade han sin vision av framtiden, där vita och svarta levde som jämlikar.
Jag har en dröm, att nationen en vacker dag skall resa sig och göra den verkliga innebörden av sin troslära till verklighet: "Vi anser att dessa sanningar är självklara, att alla människor skapats som likar." /…/ Jag har en dröm, att mina fyra små barn en dag skall leva i en nation där de inte blir dömda efter sin hudfärg, utan efter deras karaktärs innehåll.
I Have a Dream anses av många vara ett retoriskt mästerverk.[2][3] Stilen påminner om en baptistiskpredikan. King hänvisade i talet till Bibeln, kungörelsen om slavarnas frigörelse och USA:s konstitution. 1999 rankades det som etta bland USA:s 1900-talstal, i en omröstning bland amerikanska forskare.[4]
