The Division Bell is the twelfth and last studio album by English progressive rock group Pink Floyd. It was released in the UK by EMI Records in March 1994, and shortly after in the US by Columbia Records.

Written mostly by guitarist David Gilmour and keyboardist Richard Wright, the album deals mostly with themes of communication. Recording took place in a number of locations, including the band's Britannia Row Studios, and Gilmour's houseboat, Astoria. The production team included Pink Floyd stalwarts such as producer Bob Ezrin, engineer Andy Jackson, and saxophonist Dick Parry. Gilmour's new wife, Polly Samson, co-wrote many of the album's lyrics, and Wright performed his first lead vocal on a Pink Floyd album since 1973's The Dark Side of the Moon.

The album went to number one in the UK and US, but received generally poor reviews. Former band-mate Roger Waters, when asked to comment, slated the album. Its release was followed immediately by a tour of the US, Europe, and the UK. The Division Bell was certified Gold, Platinum, and Double Platinum in the US in June 1994, and triple Platinum in January 1999.
