Alpha Noir/Omega White is the ninth studio album by Portuguese gothic metal band Moonspell, released on 27 April 2012. It is the band's first double album.

The band's press release cited Bathory, King Diamond, Onslaught, early Metallica, Testament and Artillery as influences for Alpha Noir, which was described as "an incendiary album". Omega White was instead described as an album of "pure atmosphere and shadow", an homage to Type O Negative and The Sisters of Mercy and similar to Moonspell's second album Irreligious. Alpha Noir and Omega White were both produced and mixed by Tue Madsen, who had previously worked on the band's Under Satanæ and Night Eternal records.{{cite web |url=http://legacy.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=168448 |title=BLABBERMOUTH.NET - MOONSPELL: New Album Title, Other Details Revealed |website=legacy.roadrunnerrecords.com |access-date=10 August 2022 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120713034935/http://legacy.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=168448 |archive-date=13 July 2012 |url-status=dead}}
