Project X is the tenth full-length album by the Spanish power metal band Dark Moor, released on 6 November 2015.[5]

Instead of being an album in which each song has its own concept inspired by classical themes and cultural legends, it is a science-fiction inspired concept album set in the year 3023. The album also cites influences of classic heavy metal and hard rock, similar to artists like Meat Loaf and Queen.[6]

The deluxe Digipak edition includes a bonus disc containing re-recorded versions of five songs from the band's second and third albums, The Hall of the Olden Dreams and The Gates of Oblivion.[5]
