The Rescue is the fourth studio album by American post-rock band Explosions in the Sky, released on October 11, 2005.

The album is Volume 21 in the Travels in Constants series and was originally only available for purchase via mail order and at the band's shows.

Due to the demand of fans who could not get hold of the album, The Rescue used to be offered as a free download at the band's official website at one time.

The Rescue was inspired by a time the band was on tour and its van broke down on the road.

The album cover is a painting by Walter Hunt called "Rescue of a Lost Friend".
