War to End All Wars is an album by Yngwie J. Malmsteen, released in 2000 by Spitfire Records in North America simultaneously with Pony Canyon's release in Japan and Dream Catcher's in Europe. This album was almost universally denounced by most music critics. While on tour for this album, singer Mark Boals left the band, and was replaced for a brief period by Jorn Lande.

The phrase "the war to end all wars" was historically used as a description of World War I, especially in the period 1918-1939.
