"Hipeponymous" is a limited-edition boxed set by Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip. It was released on November 1, 2005

"Hipeponymous" contains a two-CD compilation of remastered songs voted for by fans entitled "Yer Favourites", a full-length concert DVD entitled "That Night in Toronto", recorded on November 26, 2004 at the Air Canada Centre, and a DVD of bonus features which includes all of the band's music videos, a backstage documentary entitled "Macroscopic", and a short film entitled "The Right Whale" which features eleven visual vignettes set to new original scores written by the band, packaged in a forty-eight page hardbound book depicting various Hip memorabilia.

The name "Hipeponymous" derives from the word "eponymous", which means "self-titled", and is a play on hippopotamus, while "That Night In Toronto" refers to the location of the concert as well as to a lyric from the song "Bobcaygeon".
