The Innistrad block is a block of the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering, consisting of the expansion sets Innistrad (September 30, 2011), Dark Ascension (February 3, 2012) and Avacyn Restored (May 4, 2012). Innistrad is a "top-down" designed block based on Gothic horror. The set's mechanics and effects take mainly graveyard themes, with a minor focus on tribal themes. The tagline for the set is "Horror Lurks Within". It has 264 cards.

Magic returned to the plane of Innistrad in 2016 with the Shadows Over Innistrad block, consisting of Shadows Over Innistrad and Eldritch Moon. This article deals with the original Innistrad block.
