Fantasia is the second studio album by American recording artist Fantasia. It was released by J Records on December 12, 2006 in the United States. Fantasia reteamed with Harold Lilly, Swizz Beatz and Missy Elliott and her team – all of which had contributed to her debut album to work on the project. The label also consulted new collaborators to record with her, including Babyface, Dre & Vidal, Kwamé, and Midi Mafia. Elliott, rapper Big Boi and Fantasia's brother Ricco appear as guest vocalists on the album.

Critical response to Fantasia was largely positive, with most reviewers praising her vocal performance as well as the album's production. Fantasia entered the US Billboard 200 chart at number 19, with first week sales of 133,000 copies. It later surpassed sales of 500,000 copies and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). As with her previous album Free Yourself, the album earned three Grammy Award nominations and produced the R&B hit single "When I See U."
