Origin of Symmetry is het tweede studioalbum van de Britse rockband Muse. Het album werd op 17 juli 2001 uitgebracht.

Muse begon in 2000 met het schrijven en opnemen van de eerste nieuwe nummers, in samenwerking met producer David Bottrill. Later werd met John Leckie in verschillende Engelse studio's het album afgerond. De muziek, door zanger Matthew Bellamy omschreven als 'een heel stuk zwaarder' dan op het album Showbiz, kenmerkte zich door meer experimenten ten opzichte van de alternatieve rock van het debuutalbum. Daarnaast werden er voor de band nieuwe instrumenten gebruikt, zoals een pijporgel.

Origin of Symmetry is the second studio album by English rock band Muse, released on 18 June 2001 through Taste Media. It was produced by John Leckie, who produced Muse's debut album, Showbiz (1999), and David Bottrill.

Origin of Symmetry is considered Muse’s breakthrough album. It reached number three on the UK Albums Chart and was certified platinum. Four singles were released: "Plug In Baby", "New Born", "Bliss", and "Hyper Music" / "Feeling Good". It was their first album to chart in the U.S. As of 2018, Origin of Symmetry had sold more than two million copies worldwide. It received mostly positive reviews, with critics praising its blend of rock and classical music. It has since been named one of the greatest rock albums of the 2000s by several publications.

For the album's 20th anniversary in 2021, Muse released a remixed and remastered version, Origin of Symmetry: XX Anniversary RemiXX.
