Hoist is the seventh studio album by the jam band Phish. The album was the best selling Phish album at the time of its release. The album includes cameos from Alison Krauss, Béla Fleck, and many other musicians as well as actor Jonathan Frakes on trombone. It contained a stripped down, simple song approach with pop friendly hooks, which was a brand new formula for Phish.

The album was certified Gold by the RIAA 08/19/96.

There was an MTV video for "Down With Disease," directed by bassist Mike Gordon.
