"Hope Is Important" is the first full-length studio album by Scottish rock band Idlewild, released October 19, 1998. The record follows on from their earlier six-track release, "Captain".

In an 2007 interview, Roddy Woomble states that the band were:

"one of the last of those sort of groups, I suppose, that weren’t totally judged on their first album. Which is just as well, as that record is messy and it’s noisy… yeah, I mean "Hope Is Important". It’s a band trying to discover what they want to sound like, and if that record came out now it’d either be massive or totally ignored. Thankfully there were bits in the songs that had people thinking we could be better, and that we could evolve."

The album will be played in full on 17 December 2008.
