Rom 5:12 is the tenth studio album by Swedish black metal band Marduk. It was recorded and mixed between December 2006 and January 2007 and released on April 24, 2007 by Regain Records. The CD version of the album includes a 44-page booklet, and the LP and picture disc pressings were limited to 500 copies each. Rom 5:12 is the last Marduk album to feature Emil Dragutinovic. Just as the previous album Plague Angel, it features a second collaboration with the Martial Industrial band Arditi.

In its native Sweden, the album received a 8 out of 10 score from Dagens Skiva,[4] and 4 out of 5 from Sydsvenskan.[5] Dagens Nyheter opined that the band did not break new ground, but that Rom 5:12 surpassed Marduk's four previous albums and was nearing the 1990s highlights Those of the Unlight and Nightwing.[6]
