Havilah is the fourth studio album by Australian alternative rock band the Drones, which was released by ATP Recordings/MGM Distribution in September 2008. It was co-produced by the group with Burke Reid and issued in February 2009 for the United Kingdom and United States markets. The title refers to a biblical town of the same name – "a Shangri-La-esque place with an abundance of gold" – and is the valley 20 kilometres (12 miles) from Myrtleford, where they recorded.
At the J Awards of 2008, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year. In 2011, it would be voted by the band's contemporaries & "industry experts" as the 38th best Australian album of all time.
