On a Mission is the second studio album by American country music group Trick Pony. It was released on November 5, 2002, via Warner Bros. Nashville; it was their final release for the label before being dropped in 2003 and signing to Asylum-Curb Records. Chuck Howard produced the album.

The album was favorably reviewed, although it was seen as interchangeable from their eponymous debut album. Two singles in total were released, the title track and "A Boy Like You". While the former, which was co-written by David Lee Murphy, peaked within the top-20 on the US Hot Country Songs chart, the latter became their first single to miss the top-40 of the chart. The album was also not as successful as their debut, peaking at number 13 on the Top Country Albums, but spending less weeks in total.

The song "Nobody Ever Died of a Broken Heart" would be recorded and released by the country group Cowboy Crush, which became a charting single for them in 2006. The song "Whiskey River", made famous by Willie Nelson, was covered here and features the musician as well.
