Monica Vinco's Empire, colloquially known as The Empire Tour or simply Empire, was the ninth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Monica Vinco. Her third all-stadium tour, it was announced on February 1, 2038, supporting her tenth studio album, X (2037). Empire began on March 1, 2038, in Bangkok, and concluded on December 22, 2038, in Rio de Janeiro.

Described as a "journey through time", an average concert of Empire lasted for three hours and was split into seven segments—each taking place in a different time period—and a futuristic encore. Vinco performed all sixteen tracks of X in order, interspersed with songs from across her discography. The X-shaped stage was in the round, resembling a compass rose, with a large hemisphere in the center for the main stage.

The tour broke attendance and ticket sales records worldwide, becoming the seventh highest-grossing concert tour of all time and the second highest-grossing tour ever by a female artist with a total gross of $597 million. The show received critical acclaim, with particular praise for the production value and Vinco's stage and vocal performances. The tour boosted both local and national economies and was a sociocultural phenomenon. The October 27 and 26 concerts in San Juan were recorded for a concert film and live album—both entitled The Empire Tour.
