Bobby Valentino is the debut studio album by American R&B singer Bobby Valentino. It was released by Def Jam South Recordings and Disturbing tha Peace on April 26, 2005. The album was primarily produced and executive produced by Tim Kelley and Bob Robinson from duo Tim & Bob, while additional production was provided by Larrance Dopson, Lamar Edwards, Gary Smith, Steve "Swift" Thornton, and Rondeau "Duke" Williams. Rapper Ludacris appears as a guest vocalist on the album.

The album earned largely polarizing reviews from critics, some of who complimented the production, while others felt that it was undistinguishable. A commercial success, it debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 and at number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, eventually reaching Gold status, while also reaching the top five of the UK R&B Albums, also going Gold. Bobby Valentino spawned three singles, including the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs number-one and UK top five hit "Slow Down", follow-up "Tell Me", and "My Angel (Never Leave You)".
