"Lost Horizons" is the second album release (and the first studio proper, since previous album "Lemonjelly.ky" was a compilation of their debut EPs) from Lemon Jelly, released in October 2002. The album produced two charting singles in the UK, "Space Walk" and "Nice Weather for Ducks". It was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2003. The album has more organic instrumentation than its predecessor, hence the addition of session musicians.

Like "Lemonjelly. KY", several tracks have been used as incidental and ident music by the BBC. Part of the track "Curse of Ka'Zar" is used by the Turner Classic Movies channel, as background music to the information screen before the movie starts.
