Invicta is the third full-length studio album from the American pop punk band Hit the Lights. It was released on January 31, 2012 through Razor & Tie records in North America and 3Wise Records in Australia. The entire album was produced by Mike Sapone who had produced Taking Back Sunday, Brand New. The songs "Gravity", "Earthquake" and "All the Weight" are taken from their previous EP "Invicta EP".

The album debuted at number 129 on the Billboard 200, selling over 4,000 copies in its first week.

Invicta received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Jason Lymangrover of AllMusic gave the album 3.5/5 stars, said "the songs are so sonically powerful that they seem, well, epic. As it stands, Invicta is Hit the Lights' ultimate bid for mainstream acceptance and also the quintet's strongest album to date". Andy Ritchie of Rock Sound gave the album a 6/10 rating, said "the album marks the return of one of the most understated but best-loved pop-punk behemoths of the last five years, although it sadly doesn’t quite deliver on its promise".
