Blodhemn (Norwegian meaning "blood revenge") is the 4th studio album by Norwegian heavy metal band Enslaved. It was released in 1998, through Osmose Productions.

The album was produced by Peter Tägtgren, and is the first Enslaved album recorded and produced at his Abyss studio, alongside the follow-up. Allmusic says that Blodhemn is Enslaved's "blackest" album, and a step forward in songwriting, due to its shorter, cleaner songs and compressed sound. Allmusic also describes the song structure as having rock and roll elements in the songs "Urtical Gods" and "Nidingaslakt".
