"Illusions" is a song by American hip hop group Cypress Hill. The song was released as the second single from Cypress Hill III: Temples of Boom. Two remixes of the song were released; one produced by DJ Muggs and one produced by Q-Tip.

According to James Masterton, the song marked a change in direction for Cypress Hill, "being more laid back than anything they have ever released before, so much so that it is almost ambient in tone."[2]
