In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is the second studio album by American rock band Neutral Milk Hotel, released on February 10, 1998.

The music is predominantly indie rock and psychedelic folk, and is characterized by an intentionally low-quality sound.

The lyrics are surrealistic and opaque, with themes ranging from nostalgia to love, and were partially inspired by The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank.

Contemporary reviews were mostly positive, but not laudatory. Over time however, the album developed a cult following, particularly in /mu/. In the years since its release, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea's critical standing has risen tremendously, and has been described by music journalists as a landmark album for indie rock and as one of the best albums of the 1990s.

In addition to being a critically beloved album, its presence on internet music forums such as /mu/ has made it a common source of a meme.
