Invisible Hitchcock is the fifth studio album by Robyn Hitchcock. It is his fourth solo album. A collection of leftovers and out-takes recorded from 1981–1985, Hitchcock's sleeve notes explain that the album was assembled because the songs "didn't fit in with what I was doing at the time and do fit in with each other now"..

The US version of the LP (on Relativity) replaced "It's a Mystic Trip" with "Grooving on a Inner Plane".

The CD versions of Invisible Hitchcock omit "Grooving on a Inner Plane" but include additional tracks.
