Empires is the third studio album by the alternative electronic band VNV Nation. It was released in 1999 in the EU and 2000 in the United States jointly under the Metropolis and Dependent labels. The album combines trance, synthpop, and electronic body music (EBM).

The album was ranked #1 on the German Alternative Charts (DAC) 1999 albums chart,[5] while "Darkangel" ranked #15 on the DAC Singles chart that same year.[6] The U.S. release of Empires peaked at #6 on the CMJ RPM Charts.[7]
