Incipit Satan is the fifth full-length album by Norwegian black metal band Gorgoroth. It was released in February 2000 through Nuclear Blast and reissued in 2006 by Back on Black Records.

The music was written entirely by guitarists Infernus and Tormentor. It differs from other Gorgoroth albums because it includes elements of industrial music, usage of keyboards, and much more melody than other releases. Incipit Satan was also the first album to mark Gaahl as full-time vocalist and King ov Hell as bassist. The band members dedicated the album to their deceased friend and former bandmate Grim.
