The Silent Force Tour is the second live album by Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation, released on November 18, 2005. In addition to the standard double DVD release, the deluxe edition includes a bonus CD. The album was re-released digitally on 14 May 2021, and physically and on vinyl on 23 April 2023.
The main concert features the band playing at the Java-eiland, Amsterdam. Three songs that were performed at the concert were not included on the release, being them "Somewhere", "Enter" and "Running Up that Hill". The song "World of Make Believe" was also scheduled to be played, but keyboardist Martijn Spierenburg felt "unprepared" to play this song live.
The DVD reached the second place on the Dutch DVD charts.
