Imaginary Cities is a Canadian indie pop band formed in 2010 in Winnipeg. The band consists of multi-instrumentalist Rusty Matyas, formerly of The Waking Eyes and a sometime collaborator with The Weakerthans, and vocalist Marti Sarbit.

The band's debut album, Temporary Resident, was released in 2011 and quickly topped Canada's campus radio charts. The band won a Western Canada Music Award for Best Pop Album of the Year and was subsequently named as a longlisted nominee for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize. To support the album, the band was selected to play several dates in Eastern Canada and the US as an opening act for Pixies.

The band followed up with its second album, Fall of Romance, in May 2013.
