Sound the Alarm is the fifth studio album by the emo band Saves the Day. It was released by Vagrant Records on April 11, 2006. It was produced by Steve Evetts who also produced Saves the Day's first two albums, Can't Slow Down and Through Being Cool. All of the album's lyrics were written by Chris Conley.

This album was welcomed by many as something of a return to the band's classic sound, after the sonic departure of In Reverie in 2003.

Sound the Alarm reached number 67 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart.[5]

Sound the Alarm is part one of a three-part concept that Conley described in an interview with Punknews.org.[6]

The "Head for the Hills" track is used on the soundtrack of the football video game Madden NFL 07.
