Tin Planet is the second album from Liverpool-based Britpop group Space. It was released on March 9, 1998 and peaked at #3 in the UK charts, two places higher than their debut album Spiders.

The songs "Avenging Angels", "The Ballad of Tom Jones" (a duet with Catatonia's Cerys Matthews), "Begin Again" and "Bad Days" were released as singles, all hitting top 40. It is notably more polished, heavy on synths and pop-orientated than Spiders.

Earlier limited editions of Tin Planet came with a special metallic tin packaging, presumably to fit with the 'metal' theme of the sleeve artwork.
