Epic is the sixth studio album by Norwegian progressive metal band Borknagar. It was released in 2004 on Century Media Records.

Bassist Jan Erik "Tyr" Tiwaz left the band during recording sessions for the album; all bass parts on the album were subsequently played by drummer Asgeir Mickelson. Mickelson and vocalist Andreas "Vintersorg" Hedlund also contribute additional guitar playing to compensate for the departure of former guitarist Jens F. Ryland.
