Transit of Venus is the fourth studio album by Canadian rock band Three Days Grace. It was released on October 2, 2012 through RCA Records. The album is the band's first to be released under the record label, following the folding of their former label, Jive Records, in 2011. The album was produced by Don Gilmore and recorded at Revolution Studios in Toronto.
On June 5, 2012, the same day as Venus's visible transit across the sun, the band announced the album title and release date. The album spawned three singles ("Chalk Outline", "The High Road" and "Misery Loves My Company"). It is the last album to feature lead singer Adam Gontier before he left the band in 2013 and returned to the group in October 2024.
The album debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. It was nominated for Best Rock Album at the Juno Awards of 2014.
