Phantom Power is the sixth full-length album by the Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip. The album was released in 1998. It won the 1999 Juno Awards for Best Rock Album and Best Album Design. The song "Bobcaygeon" won the Juno Award for Single of the Year in 2000.

The song "Escape Is at Hand for the Travellin' Man" is a tribute to Jim Ellison of Material Issue. The band recorded the song "Something On" while stuck in the studio during the ice storm of 1998.

Phantom Power debuted at No. 1 on the Canadian Albums Chart with 108,000 units sold. The album has been certified Triple Platinum in Canada. The album's first single, Poets, reached #1 on Canada's Alternative chart, and stayed #1 for 12 weeks straight, longer than any song in the history of that chart.

All songs were written by The Tragically Hip.
