The Former Site Of is the upcoming tenth studio album by Canadian indie rock band the New Pornographers, scheduled for release on March 27, 2026 via Merge Records. The record has been led by the singles "Votive", "Pure Sticker Shock", and "Spooky Action" and was also preceded by a earlier version of "Ballad of the Last Payphone".

It will be their first album since Brill Bruisers (2014) to not feature drummer Joe Seiders following his arrest and removal from the band in 2025. Much of the album was re-recorded, with drum parts instead provided by session player Charley Drayton.
