Mind on the Moon is an album by Canadian reggae musician Snow, released in 2000. Despite being his fifth album, this was the first disc since his 1993 debut 12 Inches of Snow that Snow returned to the pop charts and received mainstream airplay on both radio and television.

The album's lead single, "Everybody Wants to Be Like You" received the most radio airplay, reaching #2 on Canada's Top Singles chart. The album's second single, "The Plumb Song", also received significant radio airplay and its music video received heavy rotation on MuchMusic. Three singles from the album ("Everybody Wants to Be Like You", "The Plumb Song" and "Joke Thing") were among the top 100 most played radio tracks in Canada in 2001.^[2]

The album was nominated for "Best Pop Album" at the Juno Awards of 2001.
