The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place is the third studio album by Austin post-rock group Explosions in the Sky, which comprises Mike Smith and Munaf Rayani on guitars, Michael James on bass, and Christopher Hrasky on drums, with the album being produced by John Congleton.

Having formed in Austin, Texas in 1999, the band recorded two studio albums before releasing The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place. The album is often considered to be released within the context of the post-September 11 attacks world, despite the attacks not being taken into consideration by the band during recording. The music of the album is without lyrics, and includes tracks that are considered to be inspired by reactions to crises, including the Kursk submarine disaster. The album generally garnered positive reviews.
