Solace is a 1991 album by Sarah McLachlan. It was the album that first made her a star in Canada, with the hit singles The Path of Thorns (Terms) and Into the Fire.

Although the album received favourable reviews internationally, her commercial breakthrough outside of Canada would not come until her next album, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.
