Melancolia e Carnaval (Portuguese for "Melancholy and Carnival") is the eleventh studio album by the Brazilian musician Rogério Skylab; the second installment of what he calls the "Trilogia dos Carnavais" (Trilogy of the Carnivals). It was self-released in 2014, and includes guest appearances by musicians Romulo Fróes and Jards Macalé, and by the Estação Primeira de Mangueira samba school.

"Cogito" is a poem by Torquato Neto set to music by Skylab. "Palavras São Voláteis" is a re-recording of a song originally released on Fora da Grei. "Hino Americano" is sung to the tune of the national anthem of the United States, "The Star-Spangled Banner". A music video was made for the track.

The album can be downloaded for free on Skylab's official website.
