The Mission is the sixteenth studio album by American rock band Styx, released on June 16, 2017, through UMe.

The album reached #45 on the Billboard 200, propelled by pre-sales prior to its official release date, but fell off the chart after 2 weeks.

The album was conceived in 2015 when Tommy Shaw composed the guitar riff that became the record's closing track, "Mission to Mars".

The LP was expanded in 2018 and re-released in 5.1 surround sound (both DTS Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD) on a blu-ray disc with visualizations for each song as well as a various music videos from the album and a "Making of the Mission" documentary.

The album was well received by AllMusic's Stephen Erlewine, awarding the release four out of five stars and considered it a return to form for the band.
