Mish Maoul (Arabic: مش معقول, an expression meaning "unbelievable")[2] is the sixth album by Belgian world music singer Natacha Atlas. It was released by Mantra Recordings on April 24, 2006 worldwide. The album was primarily produced by Nick Page aka Count Dubulah, Atlas' former bandmate in Transglobal Underground.

The album marks a return for Atlas to her Maghrebi musical roots, although she also utilises bossa nova, Western pop, and electronica. In 2006, the album reached number twelve on the Billboard Top World Music Albums chart in the United States.[3]
