The Stamping Ground is the eleventh studio album by Scottish Celtic rock band Runrig, released on 6 May 2001 on Ridge Records. The album marks the final appearance of keyboardist Peter Wishart, who departed from the band to follow a career in politics.

A copy of the album was aboard STS-107, and it was among the personal effects that were recovered following the crash of Space Shuttle Columbia on 1 February 2003. The song "Running to the Light" had been used for astronaut Laurel Clark wake-up call during the mission.[1]
