Total Eclipse is the third studio album by American hip hop group Black Moon. It was released on October 7, 2003 through Duck Down Music. Recording sessions took place at the Dewgarde Crib of Hits in New York, at Tha Entaprize, at CDR Studios, and at D.I.R.T. Factory in Norfolk. Production was primarily handled by Da Beatminerz, as well as Dan The Man, Coptic, DJ Static, Kleph Dollaz, MoSS, Nottz, Oshta Hunter and Tone Capone. It features guest appearances from Smif-N-Wessun, Sean Price and Starang Wondah.

Released one year after the Boot Camp Clik's return with The Chosen Few, the album received generally positive reviews from music critics and humble sales, peaking at number 47 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and number 23 on the Independent Albums in the US. The album features the singles "Stay Real" and "This Goes Out to You", as well as the bonus track "Rush", a single that was released on January 7, 2003 and included on the Collect Dis Edition compilation.
