Shushan the Palace: Hymns of Earth is a 2003 album by Jane Siberry.

It is her third Christmas-themed album, following 1994's Count Your Blessings, a live concert she performed with Holly Cole, Rebecca Jenkins, Mary Margaret O'Hara and Victoria Williams, and 1997's Child: Music for the Christmas Season.

On Shushan the Palace, Siberry interprets several Christmas liturgical hymns by classical composers.
