...The Corner of Miles and Gil is the fifth and, to date, final album by English alternative rock band Shack, released in 2006. While the album was not a high-seller, only reaching number 55 on the UK Albums Chart, it was critically acclaimed.

The album was released on Noel Gallagher's Sour Mash label, and the band supported Oasis on live dates in 2006 promoting the album.

The album's title was a reference to the musical partnership between Miles Davis and Gil Evans, a cited influence of Michael Head's music.
