"Mechanical Wonder" is a rock song by Ocean Colour Scene (OCS). The song was released in 2001 and reached number 49 in the UK Singles Chart. It is taken from their 2001 album Mechanical Wonder and was the second single to be released from the album, after "Up on the Downside".

The song and its title is said to be about dance music, but in later interviews, lead singer Simon Fowler said that it is about the sound of cars outside your window and him talking about how he enjoys living in the country.
