Opheliac is the third full-length album by Emilie Autumn, released in September 2006 by Trisol Music Group GmbH. Opheliac was recorded at Mad Villain Studios, Chicago, USA. It is the first album by the artist to receive widespread distribution around the world. All of Autumn's previous albums were only available through her own independent record label, Traitor Records.

The album Opheliac was preceded by the Opheliac EP, released in Spring 2006. This was a preview of the full-length album, and featured the first six tracks plus 'Marry Me' and 'Thank God I'm Pretty', the latter as a hidden track following the former.

In addition to the musical and spoken-word tracks, Opheliac features live concert footage, clips from her performance of 'Misery Loves Company' on the WGN Morning Show on January 12, 2006, and three short video clips entitled "Inside The Asylum: Lessons In Being A Wayward Victorian Girl".

Opheliac was originally released as a limited edition Digipak in Europe on September 1, 2006. It was released Worldwide on September 22, 2006, Emilie Autumn's birthday. When this limited edition sold out, it was released in a standard jewelcase edition on February 5, 2007. There is no difference in musical content between the two versions, however the Digipak edition includes an additional "Opheliac" poster.
