Nightmare Anatomy is the second studio album by American band Aiden.

In 2009, speaking to Kerrang!, Francis commented:

For Nightmare... I'd learnt how to write and arrange things better than I'd done on Our Gang. Nightmare is a lot more focused on structure; verse, chorus, verse, chorus. I know that a lot of people like Nightmare Anatomy and I think it's a great record for where we were at as a band then. It's a hard-hitting, in your face punk rock album and that was the album we wanted to make at the time.

It was released on October 4, 2005 through Victory Records. It was supported by three singles: "Knife Blood Nightmare", "The Last Sunrise", and "Die Romantic". The Japan release also contains a bonus DVD with interviews, music video, and other material.

In March and April 2006, the group supported Thirty Seconds to Mars on the Forever Night Never Day tour. In May and June, the band supported HIM on their tour of the U.S. The band went on the 2006 edition of the Warped Tour.

The album peaked at number 196 on the Billboard 200, number 9 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart, and number 16 on the Billboard Independent Albums Chart, and has since become one of the band's most commercially and critically successful albums to date. By August 2006, the album had sold over 89,000 copies.

For Aiden's final tour in the fall of 2015, they played Nightmare Anatomy in its entirety.
