Infinite is the debut studio album by the American rapper Eminem. It was released through WEB Entertainment on November 12, 1996. Recording sessions took place at the Bass Brothers' studio, with production on the album handled by Denaun Porter and Eminem himself. The album features guest vocals from fellow Detroit-native rappers Proof, Mr. Porter, Eye-Kyu, Moe Men-E, Three and Thyme, as well as the New York–based singer Angela Workman.

Physical copies of Infinite were released on cassette and vinyl, and Eminem sold them from the trunk of his car in Detroit. The album is not available at any online music stores and only the title track, "Infinite", was made available on Spotify 20 years later. On November 17, 2016, five days after the 20th anniversary of the album, the official Eminem YouTube channel posted a remix of the title track, made by the Bass Brothers, releasing it digitally for the first time.

Retrospectively, the album has received mixed reviews from music critics. It was a commercial failure, selling around 70 out of around 1,000 copies made as claimed by Mathers in his book The Way I Am. Since the album was made before Eminem garnered mainstream attention and signed to Interscope Records and Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment, physical copies have appreciated in value.
