Fiore is the first compilation album by Japanese recording artist Arisa Mizuki, released through Nippon Columbia on October 1, 1993. The eleven-track set features a selection of songs from Mizuki's first two studio albums, Arisa and Arisa II: Shake Your Body for Me, as well as two original songs. It is Mizuki's first album to include the original versions of both "Densetsu no Shōjo" (1991) and "Too Shy Shy Boy!" (1992).

Leading up to the compilation's release, the record's two original songs, "Kotoshi Ichiban Kaze no Tsuyoi Gogo" and "Kimi ga Suki Dakara," were released as singles. Both songs, which were produced by singer-songwriter Yumi Matsutoya (credited as Karuho Kureta), were top ten hits, selling over 190,000 copies and 170,000 copies, respectively.

Fiore debuted at number 3 on the Oricon Weekly Albums chart with 41,010 copies in its first week, becoming Mizuki's highest charting album.[1]
