Celestial Entrance is the second studio album by the Norwegian progressive power metal band Pagan's Mind. According to the liner notes, Celestial Entrance was "inspired by some of the theories of Erich von Däniken, the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence, the mystic parallels of the four religions, and ideas launched by certain open-minded scientists throughout the world." The album has received positive feedback from reviewers, with some comparing it to early Queensrÿche, Crimson Glory, Conception, and Dream Theater.

In the mainstream Norwegian press, Celestial Entrance received dice throws of 4 in Tromsø and Varden and 5 (out of 6) in Telemarksavisa.
