"At the Hundredth Meridian" is the fourth single by The Tragically Hip from the band's 1992 album, Fully Completely.

The song peaked at #18 on the Canadian RPM Singles chart.[1] It was played during the Due South episode "Heaven and Earth" in 1995.
The music video for "At the Hundredth Meridian" was directed by Peter Henderson. It was filmed in Melbourne during the band's tour of Australia and New Zealand in March 1993.[2]
