Lamentations may refer to:

• The Book of Lamentations, part of the Old Testament or Pentateuch
• The Holy Saturday Lamentation hymns in Eastern Orthodoxy
• " Lamentations of Jeremiah the Prophet" from the celebration of Tenebrae in Roman Catholic and certain other Christian denominations

Lamentations (Live at Shepherds Bush Empire 2003) is a DVD of Opeth's first live video, released under the Music For Nations label in 2003. It was recorded at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on 25 September 2003.

Lamentations features Opeth playing the album Damnation in its entirety (with the song "Harvest" from Blackwater Park put in the running order before the last song), followed by some of the band's songs from Blackwater Park and Deliverance. The only song that was played from albums prior to Blackwater Park was "Demon of the Fall" (from the album My Arms, Your Hearse) as an encore song, but the song was not filmed for the DVD due to licensing issues with previous record labels prevented this from happening at the time of the disc's release.

The DVD also includes a documentary on the making of both Damnation and Deliverance because both albums were recorded at the same time.

This was the first Opeth release with Per Wiberg, although he officially gained membership not until Ghost Reveries.

A 2-disc CD version of the live recording was released in 2006 in a collector's edition slipcase.

A 3-disc vinyl version with new cover artwork was released in July, 2016.

Lamentations is the debut album of the United Kingdom doom metal band Solstice. Originally released in 1994 through Candlelight Records, the album was re-released in 2006 as a double-LP edition of 400 red vinyl copies and 100 copies of black vinyl with a beer bag.
