Dawn Escapes is the second album by Christian rock band Falling Up released in 2005 on the Tooth & Nail Records imprint, BEC Recordings.

The album charted better than their last album Crashings. The album reached the Billboard 200 albums chart peaking at No. 170, becoming the only album by the band to make that chart. The album also charted on Billboard Top Christian albums chart and peaked at No. 13 and reached Billboard Top Heatseekers albums chart peaking at No. 4. Dawn Escapes is the band's best-selling album to date, selling over 100,000 copies worldwide.

Although the album keeps the same nu metal-influenced sound heard on Crashings, it adds in more experimental rock and hard rock elements, resulting in a more experimental yet ultimately heavier sound. This would be last Falling Up album to feature this sound before the group started to evolve into the more experimental rock sound heard on their later albums. It is also the final album to feature original guitarists Tom Cox and Joseph Kisselburgh, and the band's last as a six-piece.
