One from the Modern is a 1999 album by Ocean Colour Scene.

The album made a departure from the two previous albums Moseley Shoals and Marchin' Already, and is slower and sadder. It was panned by critics who accused it of being too commercial and "dad rock" though the end of Britpop may have also had something to do with it.

The protest song Profit in Peace was the first single, with a double release of I am the News/So Low and later, July. The song Soul Driver is dedicated to Paul Weller, who mentored the band.
