One from the Modern is a 1999 album by Ocean Colour Scene.

The album made a departure from the two previous albums Moseley Shoals and Marchin' Already, and is slower and sadder. It was panned by critics who accused it of being too commercial and labelled it "dad rock", although the end of Britpop may have also had something to do with it.^{[citation needed]}

The protest song "Profit in Peace" was the first single, with "So Low" and then a double release of "I Am the News"/"July". The song "Soul Driver" is dedicated to Paul Weller, who mentored the band.

The album's cover photograph was taken in the Yew Garden at Packwood House near Solihull, England, a National Trust Property.
