"The Carpenter" was Finnish symphonic metal quintet Nightwish's first single. It came from their album Angels Fall First and featured, apart from Tarja's voice, also Tuomas' voice, which is unique because "The Carpenter" is the only single with his vocals.

The song also had a videoclip, showing Tarja in a red dress on a field and a man designing something that looks like a plane, probably based on the story about Íkaros. The video can also be about Jesus' life.
