Memento Mori (stylised on cover as Memento|Mori) is the fifteenth studio album by English electronic music band Depeche Mode, released on 24 March 2023[2] through Columbia.[3][4] The album was produced by James Ford, and marks their first album in six years since 2017's Spirit, the longest period of time between albums in the band's history.

It was preceded by the single "Ghosts Again" on 9 February[5] and the track "My Cosmos Is Mine" on 9 March[6] (released on streaming platforms) and is the first Depeche Mode studio album to be recorded and released as a duo, after the death of co-founder and keyboardist Andy Fletcher on 26 May 2022. The album was promoted by the Memento Mori World Tour.
