"Surfacing" is a 1997 album by Canadian musician Sarah McLachlan. It was produced by Pierre Marchand.

It was McLachlan's bestselling album, debuting at number one or number two on the Top 40 charts in many countries, and officially confirming her star status in many countries (most notably the United States) where her 1993 album "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" had been a steady seller but didn't fully establish McLachlan as a mainstream pop star.

It was released as McLachlan embarked on the Lilith Fair concert tour.

"Full of Grace" was not a new song, having previously appeared on the collection "Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff". The track "Do What You Have to Do" entered the news in 1998, when it was cited in Kenneth Starr's report as the subject of a letter from Monica Lewinsky to Bill Clinton. The song "Angel", a single in 1999, enjoyed renewed visibility in 2001, when it became popular as a song of comfort and healing following the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.

This album received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album, which was awarded to James Taylor's "Hourglass", however the singer won the Best Pop Instrumental Performance award for the track "Last Dance" at the Grammy Awards of 1998 [cite web |title="Grammy Awards of 1998 " on Rockonthenet.com|url=http://www.rockonthenet.com/archive/1998/grammys.htm|accessdate=1998-02-25] .
