Mysterious Power is the third studio album by Ezra Furman and the Harpoons. It was released on April 5, 2011 as the follow-up to 2008's Inside the Human Body. It was the band's last album; Ezra Furman has since gone on to record music under her own name with backing band The Boyfriends.

The album has been met with critical acclaim, with the Chicago Sun Times calling it "a joyous racket, a splintered confessional, an anxious thrill ride with the top down next to a fidgety poet who's crazy in love."[1] After appearing at South by Southwest in March, the band launched a U.S. headlining tour in support of the album.[2]
