The Polar Express: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the animated film of the same name, released on November 2, 2004 by Warner Sunset Records and Reprise Records.

The song, "Believe", written by Glen Ballard and Alan Silvestri, was nominated for Best Original Song at the 77th Academy Awards. It was sung at the 77th Academy Awards show by original performer Josh Groban with Beyoncé. It gained a Grammy Award in 2006.

The album was certified Gold by the RIAA in November 2007.[1] Having sold 724,000 copies in the United States, it is the best-selling film soundtrack/holiday album hybrid since Nielsen SoundScan started tracking music sales in 1991.[2]

Aside from the final track, the soundtrack includes only the vocal songs featured in the film.[3] Most of the original orchestral score featured in the film has never been commercially released.[4] A limited number of promotional "For Your Consideration" CDs containing nearly the complete score were released in 2005.[5]
