Acadie is the debut studio album by record producer and singer-songwriter Daniel Lanois, originally released in 1989 by Opal Records and Warner Bros. Records. It was largely written and recorded in the city of New Orleans. Lanois sings on it in both French and English, sometimes on the same track. It was reissued in 2005 with new cover art (but otherwise identical to the original) and then issued again in 2021 as Acadie (Gold Top Edition) and only the 2021 edition is available for streaming. Acadie was named the 20th greatest Canadian album of all time in Bob Mersereau's 2007 book The Top 100 Canadian Albums.
