Chapter VI is the fifth studio album by Swedish doom metal band Candlemass, released on 25 May 1992 by Music For Nations.

It was the first Candlemass album not to feature Messiah Marcolin on vocals since 1986's Epicus Doomicus Metallicus. On this one, Thomas Vikström took his place. After poor sales of the album, Candlemass subsequently disbanded in early 1994, only to reform three years later.
