Nicolette is the debut album by Nicolette Larson, released in 1978 by Warner Bros. Records. It reached #15 on the US pop charts and #1 in Canada and was certified Gold in both markets.

Larson gained public attention singing backup for Neil Young on American Stars 'n Bars and Comes a Time. Her first charting single was Young's smoky composition "Lotta Love". As a single, it hit #1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, #8 on the Cash Box Top 100, and #8 in Record World magazine. The follow-up single, "Rhumba Girl," fell short of the US Top 40 but reached #15 in Canada and #4 on the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart.[1]

Eddie Van Halen appears uncredited on guitar on "Can't Get Away From You".

The album was re-released on CD in 2005 on the Wounded Bird label.
