I Phantom is the debut full-length album by American hip hop artist Mr. Lif, released on September 17, 2002 on the Definitive Jux record label. I Phantom is a concept album and the liner notes provide instructions on how to follow the story.

This album is an exploration of the dynamics of everyday life, and the pursuit of our dreams, in a rapidly decaying society. I Phantom is a story from beginning to end, told mainly from third and first person perspective.
