Poets and Madmen is the 11th studio album by American heavy metal band Savatage, released in 2001.

The album was the first since Streets: A Rock Opera in 1991 to feature the band's original vocalist Jon Oliva on lead vocals for all songs after the amicable departure of Zachary Stevens.

It is also the first Savatage album to have guitarist Chris Caffery playing the majority of the guitar solos.

This is partly due to the departure of Al Pitrelli, who left to join Megadeth prior to the album's release.

[5] The United States bonus track "Shotgun Innocence" was originally a bonus track on the Japanese release of Edge of Thorns in 1993 and features Zachary Stevens on lead vocals, and the late Criss Oliva on guitar.
