The Difference Machine is the 5th studio album by the English progressive rock band Big Big Train. It was released on 30 August 2007, by English Electric Recordings.

The story is of the death of an individual, which was linked to an exploding star in a distant galaxy. There are more influences of Van der Graaf Generator, Genesis, Mew, Sigur Rós and King Crimson throughout the album.
