''Internationalist'' is the third studio album by Australian alternative rock band Powderfinger.

''Internationalist'' followed in the success of its predecessor, ''Double Allergic'', and was certified five times platinum in Australia. ''Internationalist'' received four ARIA Music Awards, including "Album of the Year". The album produced four singles for the band; "The Day You Come", " Don't Wanna Be Left Out/Good-Day Ray", " Already Gone" and "Passenger", which all appeared on Triple J's Hottest 100 poll in two consecutive years.
