Deceiver is the fourth solo album by American newgrass mandolinist Chris Thile, released on Sugar Hill in 2004.

The instruments played on the album include the mandolin, mandola, bass guitar, electric guitar, piano, violin, banjo and various percussion instruments.

In a 2007 interview, Chris Thile discussed what he musically envisioned for Deceiver:[5] I had to get that record out of my system I think.

That [last record] was like exploring pop music, not as an influence of mine, but as the desired result.

And it's not necessarily conducive to the best music making.All tracks composed by Chris Thile
