This Strange Engine is an 1997 album by British progressive rock band Marillion. It is the first out of three discs the band released on Castle Records, having been dismissed by EMI after Afraid of Sunlight (1995).

The first single released from this record was "Man Of A Thousand Faces", the opener on the album. A music video was also released of this track. The second single from the album was "80 Days". The song "Estonia" was written after singer Steve Hogarth met Paul Barney, the only British survivor from the accident where the passenger ferry Estonia sank in the Baltic Sea in September 1994, killing 852 people.
