Sharing Space is the second full-length album by Australian progressive rock band Cog, released on 12 April 2008. The album debuted at number 2 on the Australian Music Charts. The album was produced in Weed, California by Sylvia Massy, who produced their first album, The New Normal and has worked with artists such as Tool and Spiderbait. Midway through recording, their record label, Difrnt Tunes, had a change of management. This forced the band to speed up the recording process, which was already over budget, recording the second half of the album on a 7-day-a-week schedule. The "bodies upon the gears" speech at the beginning of "The Movie's Over" was a speech given by Mario Savio in 1964 at the University of California, Berkeley.

Music videos for the songs "What If", "Bird of Feather" and "Are You Interested?" have been produced.

3 songs from the album featured in the Triple J Hottest 100 in 2007 and 2008 collectively; with "What If" at 47 in 2007, "Bird of a Feather" at 31 and "Are You Interested?" at 97 in 2008.
