Gothic is the second studio album by British heavy metal band Paradise Lost, released on 19 March 1991 through Peaceville Records.

The album (which was mostly described as death-doom when it was released)[1][2] is retrospectively considered style-defining and name-giving for the genre of gothic metal.

The 2003 re-release contains two remixes of songs from Lost Paradise (1990), bringing the total running time to 49 minutes and 30 seconds.

Remixed/live versions of the songs "Eternal", "Gothic" and "The Painless" appear on the 2003 digipak re-release of Lost Paradise.

The album cover was vocalist Nick Holmes' idea, and is a close-up photograph of drummer Matt Archer's chest pocket with a segment of guitarist Gregor Mackintosh's arm showing.
