"I Could Be the One" is a song by Welsh singer-songwriter Donna Lewis from her second studio album, Blue Planet (1998). Lewis wrote the lyrics and produced the track alone while composing the music with Scottish musician Gary Clark. Lewis intended the song and album to remove the one-hit wonder tag that she had obtained with her 1996 worldwide hit, "I Love You Always Forever".

Lewis's record label, Atlantic Records, released the song in the United States on 23 June 1998 and in the United Kingdom on 6 July 1998. Several music writers predicted that the song would become a major hit, but it failed to make an impact, stalling at number 99 in the UK and failing to chart in the US. The song found better success in Austria, where it reached number nine, and it also charted in Australia and Germany.
