Dark at the End of the Tunnel is the sixth studio album by Oingo Boingo, released in 1990. It is the first collection of all new material released by the band since their 1987 album BOI-NGO. It is also notable as the first record to find the band shying away from the previously heavy use of New Wave elements with more emphasis on a heavy, rock sound.

The cover art of the album is a portion of a painting entitled "Volcano", by artist Peter Zokosky.[1]
