Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Album is a soundtrack album featuring music from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series.

The album is made up mostly of tracks by little-known artists, though some better known ones, such as Garbage and Alison Krauss, are also featured. A small part of the television show's original score is also included. Although the album was released in 1999, it contains music from Buffy's first four seasons, although a few songs never appeared in an episode at all.

A follow-up, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Radio Sunnydale – Music from the TV Series, was released in 2003.
