"Miente" (English: "Lie") is a song by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias from his second studio album, Vivir (1997). The song was written and produced by Rafael Pérez-Botija. It was released as the third single from the album in 1997. An uptempo pop power ballad backed by a piano and percussion, the song deals with the singer being in denial about a relationship ending.

"Miente" was covered by Robert Avellanet on his debut studio album, Sentir (1999), as a salsa track. The music video for the cover features the singer playing billiards while a woman is driving away. Avellanet's version peaked at numbers 23 and 9 on the Hot Latin Songs and Tropical Airplay charts, respectively, and was a recipient of the ASCAP Latin Award on the salsa field in 2000. "Miente" received positive reactions from three music journalists, who generally considered it was one of the best tracks from Vivir. Commercially, the original song topped the Billboard Hot Latin Songs and Latin Pop Airplay charts in the United States.
