"Another Sky" is an album by Celtic folk group Altan, released in 2000 on the Narada Productions label (see 2000 in music).

The title derives from a line in Steve Cooney's song "Island Girl", sung by Mairéad with Steve himself accomanying her and guesting on several tracks. This album is a slight departure from previous Altan albums, in that there is a Scots song, "Green Grow The Rushes", and a Bob Dylan song.
