Potemkin City Limits is the fourth full length album by the punk rock band Propagandhi, released on October 18, 2005. It was released on the band's own G7 Welcoming Committee Records label in Canada and Fat Wreck Chords in the US.

The title of the album is an allusion to Potemkin village, a political term referring to a false construct intended to hide an undesirable situation.

The opening track, "A Speculative Fiction," won the first annual ECHO Songwriting Prize from the Society of Composers, Authors, and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN).[1]
