The Swinging Star is the fifth studio album by the Japanese band Dreams Come True. It was released on November 14, 1992, by Epic Records Japan. It was their first release in about a year since their previous album, Million Kisses (1991). All of the album's lyrics were solely penned by frontwoman Miwa Yoshida while its songs were arranged by her bandmate Masato Nakamura. The Swinging Star is a doo-wop, pop, blue-eyed soul, and R&B record, with elements of jazz and disco music.

Commercially, the album was a huge success in Japan, peaking at number one on the Oricon Albums Chart. It was the fastest-selling album based on first week sales at the time, and sold over 3.2 million units in Japan, making it the 17th best selling album in that region. The success of the album garnered Dreams Come True the Japan Record Award for "Best Album". To promote this album, the band embarked on a concert tour called Dreams Come True Concert Tour The Swinging Star from January 28 to April 18, 1993.
