Danse Macabre is the third studio album by the Omaha based New Wave band The Faint. It was released on August 21, 2001 in the U.S. and roughly a year later in the UK, where it has enjoyed similar popularity.

This album is the 37th release of Saddle Creek Records.

The first pressing of Danse Macabre on vinyl included a different unauthorized photo that led to them being pulled and having the covers re-printed.
