Watermark is an album by Irish musician Enya, released in 1988. Featuring her first major hit, "Orinoco Flow", Watermark was Enya's breakthrough album release, and is considered a seminal example of New Age music, although Enya herself does not consider her work to be of that genre.

Two versions of the album were released. In 1989, an extended version of Watermark included "Storms in Africa Part II" (as sung in English) which had previously been released on a popular CD single. Some later reissues of Watermark once again omit this track.
