Haven is the fifth full-length studio album by the band Dark Tranquillity, released on July 7 2000.
This release is the first to feature Mikael Niklasson & Martin Brändström, and the first release with Martin Henriksson on guitar, switching his previous position on bass. This release marks the last contribution of former vocalist Anders Fridén.
The blend of melodic guitar work and electronic elements prevalent on Projector are further utilised on this record, cemented by Martin Brändström's permanent membership within the band. Nonetheless, Mikael Stanne refrained from using the clean vocal style, whose presence on Projector had differentiated it from previous releases.
All lyrics written by Mikael Stanne.

Like the previous album, Projector, critical reception was mixed. Guitarist Niklas Sundin has been quite critical of the album, stating that this is his least favourite Dark Tranquillity album, considering it "too safe in places" and stating that the album "could probably benefit from more variation". Despite the mixed feelings towards Haven, MetalGuru listed it #5 in its "Retro 2000 Top 5 Albums."
