Failed States is the sixth full-length album by the punk rock band Propagandhi. It was released on September 4, 2012, receiving critical praise.

A remastered version was released through multiple digital streaming services on February 1, 2019 as Chris Hannah felt that the original version sounded inferior to the quality of Supporting Caste and Victory Lap.
