Levitate is the 19th album by The Fall, released in 1997 on Artful Records. Levitate became the last album to feature two long-time Fall members, drummer Karl Burns and bass player Steve Hanley (whose playing was once described by Smith as the defining element of the group's music).

The album remained out of print for a long time, as Artful went bankrupt in the early 2000s. An expanded, remastered 2CD/3LP version of the album was released by Cherry Red Records in May 2018.[4]
