"Symphonie Celtique", subtitled "Tir Na Nog", a folk-rock album by Alan Stivell, originally released as a double LP in 1980 by CBS France, catalogue number CBS 88487. Digitally remastered and reissued on CD in 1988 by Disques Dreyfus, catalogue number FDM 36196-2.

Composed entirely by Stivell, featuring instrumental arrangements by Stivell assisted by Christopher Hayward and Michel Prezman, and with over 70 musicians contributing, this was a large undertaking. As well as embracing the classic Stivell fare of Breton, Scottish and Irish instrumentation, this early nod at world music includes oriental and African sounds as well as a full orchestra and lavish production values. On the original vinyl release the "three circle" symphonic construction was emphasised in the track listings to a greater extent than with the subsequent CD reissue.

The original double LP was packaged in a gatefold sleeve whose interior featured a still from the Roman Polanski film 'Tess' depicting Stonehenge in the mist.
