Stormblåst ("Stormblown" in English) is the second studio album by Norwegian symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir. It was released in 1996 by Cacophonous Records, and re-released in 2001 by Century Media. The album is sung entirely in the band's native language, Norwegian, and was their last album to be completely in Norwegian instead of English. In November of 2005, a completely re-recorded version of this album was released.

For this album, the keyboards became the dominant instrument, a trend the band would use again in later albums.

This is also the last album where lyrics would be written by Aldrahn (of Dodheimsgard and Ved Buens Ende) until 2003's Death Cult Armageddon.

The intro to "Guds fortapelse" is from Dvořák's Symphony no. 9 in E minor, Op. 95 "From the New World".
