Panic Stations is the sixth studio album by American rock band Motion City Soundtrack. Produced by John Agnello, the album was released on September 18, 2015, by Epitaph Records. Following an extended touring cycle in which the group performed several past albums in full, Motion City Soundtrack lost one of its longest-serving members: drummer Tony Thaxton, who resigned from the group in 2013. The band continued to tour with new drummer Claudio Rivera over the ensuing year while writing new material for a sixth album.

Recorded at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, the album was tracked live, in a departure from the group's previous albums. The group lived together at the studio and completed its recording process in 14 days, the band's shortest time spent on an album. Upon its release, Panic Stations attracted positive reviews from music critics, but it debuted low on the charts in the U.S. and Australia. The following year, they announced their dissolution and a farewell tour, but they reunited in 2019.
