Constellations for the Lonely is the sixth studio album by British rock band Doves. The album was released by EMI North, the band's first for the label, on 28 February 2025. Described by the band as a "dark" album, guitarist/singer Jez Williams said in an interview with NME, "We're living in pretty fucking horrible times, so we wanted to reflect that but give a little hope. [...] I see this as a future soul album for outsiders. We want you to feel understood."

Constellations for the Lonely was released following a troubled period in the band's history, as singer/bassist Jimi Goodwin sought treatment for mental health and substance abuse issues following the release of previous album The Universal Want; this resulted in his being sidelined from touring for Constellations. The album was met with critical praise, and charted at #5 on the UK Albums Chart and at #1 on the Scottish Albums Chart.
