Remagine is the fourth studio album released by Dutch symphonic metal band After Forever. It was released on 8 September 2005 by Transmission Records and followed the 2004 concept album Invisible Circles. It was the band's first album with keyboardist Joost van den Broek, and their last released under Transmission Records.

Initially, the album was made available in three versions: a regular one, an SACD with three bonus songs in 5.1 surround sound and a special edition with a DVD containing a making-of documentary and a photo gallery. On 24 November 2015, Transmission Records reissued the album as a two-disc set containing the SACD bonus tracks, rare single edits, remixes and previously unreleased studio sessions. Although this edition included liner notes by former guitarist Sander Gommans, former lead singer Floor Jansen took to Instagram to denounce the label, claiming that she had never been made aware of the re-release.[2]
