Dark Passion Play šesti je studijski album finskog sastava Nightwish i prvi na kojem je vokal nova pjevačica Anette Olzon nakon odlaska Tarje Turunen. Nastanak albuma je koštao preko 500.000 €, dvostruko je skuplji od Once; što ga čini najskupljim albumom u finskoj glazbenoj povijesti.

Međutim, spomenuta suma se uskoro pokazala izuzetno korisnom, jer je album postao njihov najuspješniji u karijeri, prodavši nešto više od dva milijuna kopija, a oko 200.000 samo u Finskoj. Album je sjajno prošao i kod kritičara. S albuma su skinuta četiri singla Eva, Amaranth, Bye Bye Beautiful i The Islander.
