Tiffany is the debut studio album by American singer Tiffany, recorded when she was 14 and 15 years old, and released on June 29, 1987, by MCA Records. The album peaked at number 1 for two weeks in the US, making Tiffany the youngest female artist to achieve a number 1 album. Certified 4× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the album sold over seven million copies worldwide.

Exploring adult themes,[1] the album is a teen pop record with influences from pop, rock, disco, funk, dance, and new wave. During production, Tiffany turned away from the country music style of her childhood, and she embraced the pop sound and fashion of Stevie Nicks, encouraged by Tiffany's producer George Tobin.

The album received mixed-to-negative reviews, criticized for its calculated and unoriginal production. It spawned five singles, including the international hits "I Think We're Alone Now", "Could've Been", and "I Saw Him Standing There". To promote the album, Tiffany embarked on a nationwide shopping mall tour to give 60 free performances, helping her gain a fan base. The mall tour concept proved influential; it was later adapted by Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson and 98 Degrees.
