Margerine Eclipse is the eighth studio album by English-French rock band Stereolab. It was released on 27 January 2004 in the United States by Elektra Records[14][15] and on 2 February 2004 in the United Kingdom by Duophonic Records.[14][16] The album is in large part a eulogy to former band member Mary Hansen, who died in 2002.

By June 2004, Margerine Eclipse had sold over 40,000 copies in the USA.[17] A remastered and expanded edition of the album was released by Duophonic and Warp on 29 November 2019.[18]
