Kveldssanger (Twilight Songs) is the sophomore album by Norwegian black metal band Ulver.

The album is quite different from the band's previous offering Bergtatt in that the band's vocalist, Garm, only uses choir-like chanting instead of the usual, raspy black metal vocals. Kveldssanger abandons the black metal genre for a totally acoustic, folk approach, though various reviews claim the album has a "black metal atmosphere". The album is also highly produced, with instruments and vocals tweaked almost to perfection.

Kveldssanger is sung in Norwegian.
