'''''Whoracle''''' is the third studio album by Swedish [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band [[In Flames]], released on 18 November 1997. The title of the album is a [[portmanteau]] of the English words "[[whore]]" and "[[oracle]]".

Apart from "[[Everything Counts]]", which is a cover of a [[Depeche Mode]] song, all songs were composed and arranged by [[In Flames]]. The lyrics were translated by ''[[Dark Tranquillity]]'' guitarist [[Niklas Sundin]], after [[Anders Fridén]] had written them in Swedish.

''Whoracle'' is the final In Flames album to feature [[Johan Larsson (musician)|Johan Larsson]] and [[Glenn Ljungström]]. It is also the last release with [[Björn Gelotte]] playing drums, as he permanently switched to lead guitar in future releases. [[Fredrik Nordström]] noted that it was not easy to record at times, since the band members usually preferred drinking beer and playing ''[[Tekken 3]]''.<ref>''At the Gates – Flames of the End'' DVD Fredrik Nordstörm interview</ref>{{better source needed|date=October 2020}}
