Top Dance Albums (formerly Top Electronic Albums and Top Dance/Electronic Albums) is a music chart published weekly by Billboard magazine which ranks the top-selling dance music albums in the United States based on sales compiled by Nielsen SoundScan. The chart debuted on the issue dated June 30, 2001 under the title Top Electronic Albums, with the first number-one title being the original soundtrack to the film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.[2] It originally began as a fifteen-position chart and has since expanded to twenty-five positions.

Top Dance Albums features full-length albums by artists who are associated with electronic dance music genres (house, techno, IDM, trance, etc.) as well as pop-oriented dance music and electronic-leaning hip hop. Also eligible for this chart are remix albums by otherwise non-electronic-based artists and DJ-mixed compilation albums and film soundtracks which feature a majority of electronic or dance music. In 2019, Billboard added a companion chart, Dance/Electronic Album Sales, which tracks the top 15 albums based solely on physical sales, but with an emphasis on core dance/electronic artists. Starting with the first full chart week of 2025, the chart was renamed to Top Dance Albums "to better represent the cross-reference of dance titles that appear on the ranking".[3]

The current number-one album on the chart as of issue December 20 is Mayhem by Lady Gaga.[4]
