''Rite²'' is an ambient music album by Julian Cope, released in 1997.

The record is split into two separate parts, "Phase 1" and "Phase 2". Exemplifying Cope's Neolithic interests, ''Interpreter'' was packaged with a fold-out "mythological mind map" depicting sites on the Marlborough Downs, and depicts the Cairnholy standing stones in Scotland on its cover.
