World of Our Own is the third studio album recorded by Irish boy band Westlife. It was released through RCA Records on 12 November 2001. It reached number one in the United Kingdom and includes the singles "Queen of My Heart" (which was a double A-side with "When You're Looking Like That"), "World of Our Own" (which was a double A-side with "Angel"), "Bop Bop Baby", and the final single from the group's last album, "Uptown Girl". "Evergreen" was later covered by Will Young as his winner's single for the 2002 Pop Idol competition.

The album went 4× Platinum in the UK and is the fourteenth biggest selling boy band album ever in the UK.[2] The album was one of the best selling international albums in Hong Kong in 2002.[3] In January 2005, the album was re-released in a 2-in-1 box set with the group's previous album, Coast to Coast.[4]

The album sold over 5.5 million copies worldwide.[5]
