Man of Miracles is the fourth album by Styx, released in November 1974. Produced by John Ryan and Bill Traut, who had produced the band's first two albums, this would be the band's last original album on the independent Chicago-based label Wooden Nickel Records before moving to the major label A&M.

The original issue contained "Best Thing", a re-release from the debut Styx album, as the opening track on the record's B-side. A second release of Man of Miracles substituted the song "Lies", originally recorded by The Knickerbockers in 1966. The album was reissued in 1980 with new artwork and a newly abbreviated title, Miracles. This version started the second side with "Unfinished Song".
