Dreamcatcher is a greatest hits package released in the United Kingdom in 2000 by Secret Garden, an Irish-Norwegian duo consisting of Irish violinist Fionnuala Sherry and Norwegian composer/pianist Rolf Løvland. A version with an alternative track listing was released on 22 May 2001 in the United States, and a special Australian tour edition in 2004.

The opening track Nocturne is a mostly instrumental song that won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1995. The album cover features a recoloured photograph of the Eilean Donan castle.
