Philomena (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the score album composed by Alexandre Desplat to the 2013 film of the same name directed by Stephen Frears, released on 25 October 2013 through Decca Records.

Desplat recalled that he loved the Italian comedy-dramas from the 1960s, particularly those directed by Ettore Scola, as it would have deep subjects treated with sense of humour, that makes them even stronger.

"[7] James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "Philomena is no exception – this is music with a whimsical air, a clever nostalgic charm thanks to its chimes and piano that forever seem to be leading the listener towards a welcoming place.
