Naked is the second studio album by American R&B recording artist Marques Houston. It was released by The Ultimate Group and Universal Records on May 24, 2005 in the United States. Houston worked with a variety of producers on the album, including Chris Stokes, Cory Bold, Brandon Howard, Tha Corna Boyz, Rufus Blaq, Tank, and duo The Underdogs, among others. Guest vocalists on Naked include Joe Budden, Rufus Blaq, RaRa & Dame and fellow former Immature member Young Rome.

The album was noted for its blend of its mature themes and a shorter runtime that contributed to tighter quality control, though some critics found the album uneven and formulaic. In the United States, Naked debuted and peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200, and number five on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. It sold nearly 400,000 copies domestically and in 2022, more than 17 years after its release, was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
