Próxima Estación: Esperanza (English: Next Station: Hope) is an album by Manu Chao. It was released in Europe in 2000. It was released in the United States on June 5, 2001 on Virgin Records. Chao and others sing in Arabic, English, French, Galician, Portuguese, and Spanish on this album.

The name comes from a sample of an announcement for the Esperanza Madrid Metro station, because in Spanish Esperanza means "hope". The voice actor Javier Dotú and a Metro announcer later sued for infringement of intellectual copyright over the use of their voices.^[1]
