La Espada & la Pared (English: The Sword and the Wall) is the third studio album by Chilean rock band Los Tres, released on 17 March 1995, through Sony Music Chile. The album is composed by thirteen songs, including two covers (Buddy Richard's "Tu Cariño Se Me Va" and The Velvet Underground's "All Tomorrow's Parties"), and was produced by Argentine record producer Mario Breuer alongside the band. The artwork for the cover is the painting "Portrait of Nadya Repina" by Russian painter Ilya Repin.

The album is considered as influential in both the band's career as well as the Chilean rock scene and Chilean music as a whole, specially during the nineties. American magazine Al Borde placed the album at number 61 in their list of 250 Most Important Albums of Iberoamerican Rock, released on 2006, being one of the three albums by the band to appear on the list. The Chilean edition of Rolling Stone included the album in their 50 Best Chilean Album list, released in 2008, placing it at number 10.
