Katharsis - Czesław Niemen's concept album released in 1976. It is about dead ends and traps on the road of expanding human civilization and space exploration. This album was recorded by Czesław Niemen alone, without help from other musicians.

The track "Epitafium (Pamięci Piotra)" is dedicated to drummer Piotr Dziemski, who helped to record Niemen's previous album "Aerolit" and who had died in 1975.
