"Vainajala" (1998) is an album by the Finnish rock group CMX. Vainaja is Finnish for a dead person, "Vainajala" meaning a name of a place inhabited by the dead.

The style that "Vainajala" was produced was highly exceptional: the band went to a small cottage in the middle of Lapland with mobile recording equipment and producer Billy Gould, who had previously shown interest in the band largely unknown outside Finland. Recording "Vainajala" only took two weeks, much less than the recording time for any of their other recent albums. The album was later finished at the Herodes studio in Helsinki, but the musical style of the album still is very minimalistic. Only a few visiting artists performed on the album.
