Hand It Over is the seventh studio album by alternative rock band Dinosaur Jr., released on March 25, 1997, on Reprise Records. It peaked at No. 188 in the United States. According to a 2007 Magnet interview with band leader J Mascis, Hand It Over is his favorite album from the group's major label period of the 1990s.

The band enjoyed a somewhat renewed appreciation from critics on Hand It Over. However, in the years following the band's hiatus, Hand It Over would become hard to find due to it not having the same success in sales as the band's prior two albums, Where You Been and Without a Sound, which both sported moderate radio hits in the US. Hand It Over ultimately sold 34,000 units in the US.

"Take a Run at the Sun" was released as a single to promote the album; however, it was initially only included on the European and Australian versions of the album. The single peaked at No. 53 on the UK Singles Chart and at No. 2 on the UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart.
