"Rubycon" is an album released in 1975 by German electronic music group Tangerine Dream. It is widely regarded as one of their best albums. "Rubycon" further develops the Berlin School sequencer-based sound they ushered in with the title track from "Phaedra". Along with Peter Baumann on flute, the tracks also involve the use of a prepared piano.

Although not quite matching the sales figures for "Phaedra", "Rubycon" gave the group their highest ever UK chart placing, reaching No.12 in a 14-week run.
