Rubycon is an album released in 1975 by German electronic music group Tangerine Dream. It is widely regarded as one of their best albums. Rubycon further develops the Berlin School sequencer-based sound they ushered in with the title track from Phaedra. Along with Peter Baumann on flute, the tracks also involve the use of a prepared piano.

Although not quite matching the sales figures for Phaedra, Rubycon gave the group their highest ever UK chart placing, reaching No.12 in a 14-week run.
