Old is the seventh studio album by alternative rock band Starflyer 59. It was released on May 20, 2003 by Tooth & Nail Records. Developed as a concept album (like previous studio album Leave Here a Stranger),[8] Old examines themes such as aging and mortality, difficulty in the music industry, and cultural issues regarding marital infidelity and increasing divorce rates.[9][10]

Featuring Aaron Sprinkle as co-producer, Old reintroduces some alternative rock elements as found on Starflyer 59's earlier albums.
