Hoist è il quinto album ufficiale in studio del gruppo americano Phish. I brani furono registrati durante l'autunno del 1993 all'American Recording Co. di Woodland Hills dal fonico Ed Thacker. Il disco uscì sul mercato alla fine di marzo dell'anno successivo. Col suo approccio jazz, blues, soul e bluegrass, il disco rappresenta certamente un punto di svolta nella produzione musicale dei Phish.
