Heresy And Creed is the tenth studio album by the melodic hard rock band Ten. The album was released on 26 September 2012 in Japan and on 19 October in Europe. The official release date for North America was 22 October. It is the first album with the new lead guitarist Dan Mitchell, keyboard player Darrel Treece-Birch and drummer Max Yates. Steve Mckenna also returned to the band, making it his first studio appearance for the band since the double compilation album "The Essential Collection 1995-2005" in 2005.

According to Gary Hughes, the new album "Is a particularly strong selection of material. I feel this is possibly our most mature, and diverse collection of songs ever. There is literally something in there for everyone and every taste".

The cover was illustrated by Felipe Machado Franco, known for his work with Blind Guardian.

In October 2012, Heresy And Creed entered the UK Rock Album Charts at number 30.
