The Endless River is the fifteenth and final studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released in November 2014 by Parlophone Records in Europe and Columbia Records in the rest of the world. It was the third Pink Floyd album recorded under the leadership of the guitarist, David Gilmour, after the departure of former bassist, Roger Waters, and the first following the death of keyboardist, Richard Wright, in 2008, who appears posthumously.

The Endless River comprises mainly instrumental and ambient music composed of material recorded during sessions for the previous Pink Floyd album, The Division Bell (1994). Additional material was recorded in 2012 and 2014 on Gilmour's Astoria boat studio and in Medina Studios in Hove, England. It was produced by Gilmour, Youth, Andy Jackson and Phil Manzanera. Only one track, "Louder than Words", has lead vocals. After the death of the longtime Pink Floyd cover artist Storm Thorgerson in 2013, the cover was created by Ahmed Emad Eldin, design company Stylorouge and Aubrey Powell, the co-founder of Thorgerson's design company Hipgnosis.

The Endless River was promoted with the "Louder than Words" single and artwork installations in cities around the world. It became the most pre-ordered album of all time on Amazon UK and debuted at number one in several countries. The vinyl edition was the fastest-selling UK vinyl release since 1997. The album received mixed reviews: some critics praised the nostalgic mood, while others found it unambitious or meandering.
