Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 (English: Oral Fixation, Vol. 1, Spanish: [fi.xaˌsjõn oˌɾal β̞oˌlu.mẽn ˈu.no]) is the sixth studio album by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira. It was released on 3 June 2005 by Epic Records. After attaining international success in 2001 with her fifth studio album and first English-language record, Laundry Service, Shakira wanted to release a fifth Spanish-language project as a follow-up. In the vein of her earlier work, Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 is a Latin pop album. Shakira enlisted Rick Rubin as executive producer, also working with Gustavo Cerati, Lester Mendez, Luis Fernando Ochoa and Jose "Gocho" Torres.

Music critics generally acclaimed Shakira's artistic growth on Fijación Oral, Vol. 1. The album debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 157,000 copies, setting a record for the highest debut of a full-length Spanish-language album in the US. As of 2017, it ranked among the best-selling Latin pop albums of all time in the US. Internationally, Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 reached number one in Argentina, Germany, Mexico, and Spain, and it has been certified diamond in Colombia and Mexico. In 2006, it won Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards, and Album of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Album at the 7th Latin Grammy Awards. Shakira became the first female artist to win the Latin Grammy for Album of the Year.

Four singles were released to promote the album. Its lead single, "La Tortura", enterred the US Billboard Hot 100 and reached number one in Hungary, Spain, and Venezuela. The follow-up singles "No", "Día de Enero" and "Las de la Intuición" charted on the Hot Latin Songs, Tropical Songs and Latin Pop Airplay charts. Shakira released a sequel album, the English-language Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 (2005); both albums were released as a box set titled Oral Fixation, Vol. 1 & 2 (2006). Shakira promoted both albums with the Oral Fixation Tour (2006–2007), which visited the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe. A performance in Miami was filmed and released as a live album, Oral Fixation Tour, in November 2007.
