Mo' Mega is the second full-length album by hip hop artist Mr. Lif, released on June 13, 2006 on the Definitive Jux label (see 2006 in music). The album was largely produced by El-P but also features production work from Edan, Australian producer Nick Toth, and Mr. Lif himself. Lyrical guest appearances come from El-P, Aesop Rock, Murs, Blueprint, and Lif's Perceptionists rapping partner Akrobatik.

According to Lif's MySpace page,[1] the term 'Mo' "represents the dialect created by African Americans". 'Mega' represents the "ruling class, and the hyper-modernized world largely created by big business. The term 'Mo' Mega' represents the clash of the working class vs. ruling class, and this album is the sound of that dissonance."

Although not critically acclaimed on the same level as I Phantom, Mo' Mega still received mostly favorable reviews, scoring a total of 75/100 on MetaCritic.^[1]
