Mirage is an album by the Arizona alternative rock band Meat Puppets.

The album was reissued in 1999 by Rykodisc with five additional bonus tracks, including early demos of "The Mighty Zero," "I Am a Machine" and "Liquified" as well as a cover of the Elvis Presley song "Rubberneckin'" and the previously unreleased "Grand Intro." As an added bonus, this album includes an "Enhanced CD" partition for play on home computers. "Mirage" offers the promotional video for "Get On Down." Directed by Robert Tucker and featuring the Pups galavanting around the Valley of The Sun doing whacky dances, this has remained one of their most popular clips.

Drummer Derrick Bostrom has referred to the album as their "psychedelic epic".
