The Olden Domain is the second studio album by Norwegian progressive metal band Borknagar, and their first to feature English lyrics. It also marks the beginning of the band's trademark progressive/folk/black metal sound used in subsequent records.

This would be the band's last studio album to feature Kristoffer Rygg on vocals. It is also their first album to feature Kai K. Lie on bass, replacing Infernus.
