Imaginary Friend is the second and final studio album by English indie rock band Th' Faith Healers, released on 18 October 1993 by Too Pure.[5] It was released by Elektra Records in the United States.[6]

In a 1994 profile of Th' Faith Healers in Spin, journalist Jim Greer wrote that Imaginary Friend saw the band refining their groove-oriented noise rock sound and experimenting with more varied musical styles.[6] AllMusic critic Stewart Mason retrospectively characterised it as "darker and less manic" than their 1992 debut album Lido.[7]
