Dan Sultan is the seventh studio album by Australian musician Dan Sultan, released on 18 August 2023. The album was announced on 4 May 2023, alongside the album's third single.[3]

In a statement, Sultan said "Until now I've shied away from having a photo of my face on any artwork and I've now gone completely the other way with this record. It's symbolic of just how raw and straight the work is in content albeit extremely polished from a production and writing standpoint". Sultan continued, "I've never been as good as I've been while writing and making this record. I'm very proud of my record and I know that I've made a beautiful thing that represents myself in all ways. It has fulfilled me and I'm happier and stronger in my work than I've ever been. It's a wonderful thing to feel so peaceful and powerful within my artistry and it's holistically permeated into every aspect of my life."[3]

The album will be supported by the Dan Sultan East Coast Tour, commencing on 30 September 2023 in Brisbane.[6]

At the 2023 ARIA Music Awards, the album was nominated for Best Solo Artist, Best Independent Release and Best Adult Contemporary Album.[7]

At the AIR Awards of 2024, the album won Best Independent Blues and Roots Album or EP.[8] The album won Album of the Year at the National Indigenous Music Awards 2024.[9][10]
