Au Rêve is the second album released by French electronic duo Cassius. It was released in 2002 on Virgin Records in Europe and Astralwerks in the United States. The album was written and produced by Cassius members Phillippe Zdar and Boom Bass and received favorable reviews from music critics upon its release.

Au Rêve is a progression from Cassius' debut album 1999 in that it is a more house music-oriented effort that uses less sampling and more live vocalists. Collaborators include Jocelyn Brown, Ghostface Killah and Steve Edwards. The Edwards track, "The Sound of Violence", topped the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart.
