Solace is the second studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter album by Sarah McLachlan, released on June 29, 1991, on Nettwerk in Canada and January 28, 1992, on Arista Records in the United States. It was the album that first made her a star in Canada, spawning the hit singles "The Path of Thorns (Terms)" and "Into the Fire" and being certified double platinum for sales of 200,000 copies in Canada.

Although the album received favourable reviews internationally, her commercial breakthrough outside of Canada would not come until her next full album, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.
