"The Gallery" is the second full-length studio album by the Swedish melodic death metal band Dark Tranquillity, released on November 27, 1995. It was the first full length release to feature Mikael Stanne on lead vocals. The album saw a more intense approach on the vocals than on "Skydancer".

In 2005, Century Media Records re-released "The Gallery" with new layouts and five cover songs as bonus tracks.

"The Gallery" is considered a classic album of the Gothenburg style of metal, along with At the Gates' "Slaughter of the Soul" and In Flames' "The Jester Race", exhibiting the dual guitar leads, growled vocals and acoustic sections typical of the genre.
