Meteor Rain (Chinese: 流星雨; pinyin: Liú Xīng Yǔ) is the debut Mandarin studio album of Taiwanese Mandopop quartet boy band F4. It was released on 28 August 2001 by Sony Music Taiwan.[1] The Hong Kong version of the album is an audio visual CD (AVCD) which includes two music videos.[Note 1][2]

The album is organized in the style of a split album with two tracks by each of the F4 members and two tracks collectively as F4. The leading track "流星雨" (Meteor Rain, a Chinese cover song of Gaining Through Losing by Ken Hirai) is listed at number 11 on Hit Fm Taiwan's Hit Fm Annual Top 100 Singles Chart (Hit-Fm年度百首單曲) for 2001 as well as the theme song for the 2001 Taiwanese drama series of the same title.[3]

The album was awarded one of the Top 10 Selling Mandarin Albums of the Year at the 2002 IFPI Hong Kong Album Sales Awards, presented by the Hong Kong branch of IFPI.[4] Following the success of their TV series Meteor Garden, the album also received commercial acclaim in Indonesia with sales of more than 300,000 copies.[5]
