Carencro is the major label debut of Louisiana musician Marc Broussard. The album was released by Island Records on August 3, 2004. The album title pays tribute to the musician's hometown of Carencro, Louisiana.

The album's first single, "Home", received airplay during the initial album release, and also after Hurricane Katrina. The song's music video, showing masses of people stuck in a traffic jam on the highway, seemed appropriate to depict displaced people fleeing New Orleans.

The track "Gavin's Song" was written for Broussard's son, Gavin.
