Still Fantasy (Chinese: 依然范特西; pinyin: Yī Rán Fàn Tè Xī) is the seventh studio album by Taiwanese Mandopop artist Jay Chou. It was released on 5 September 2006 by Alfa Music and distributed by Sony Music Taiwan.

The album was originally scheduled for release on 8 September. However, Alfa Music decided to bring the release date three days forward because the master CD was leaked in Mainland China by employees of the album's production facility. This led to illegal downloads of MP3s and sales of unlicensed copies of the then yet-to-be-released album.

The album features a duet "千里之外" (Faraway) with Taiwanese singer-songwriter Fei Yu-Ching. The music videos for "夜的第七章" (Twilight's Chapter Seven) and "心雨" (Heart's Rain) were filmed on location in London, England.

The album debuted at number one on Taiwan's G-Music Weekly Top 20 Mandarin and Combo Charts at week 35 (1–7 September 2006) with a percentage sales of 45.98% and 25.93% respectively. It charted in the Mandarin Chart for 24 weeks and the Combo Chart for 18 weeks. It is the best selling album in Taiwan with 181,000 copies sold in 2006.

The tracks, "千里之外" (Faraway), "聽媽媽的話" (Listen to Mother's Words) and "白色風車" (White Windmill) are listed at number 2, 8 and 53 respectively on Hit Fm Taiwan's Hit Fm Annual Top 100 Singles Chart (Hit-Fm年度百首單曲) for 2006.

The track "夜的第七章" (Twilight's Chapter Seven) was nominated for Top 10 Gold Songs at the Hong Kong TVB8 Awards, presented by television station TVB8, in 2006; also "本草綱目" (Herbalist's Manual) and "聽媽媽的話" (Listen to Mother's Words) were noimated at the same award in 2007. Another track "菊花台" (Chrysanthemum Terrace) was awarded Best Original Film Song at the 26th Hong Kong Film Awards in 2007.
