Shania Twain is the debut studio album by Canadian singer Shania Twain, released on April 20, 1993, by Polygram and Mercury Records. After assembling a demo tape to send to labels, Mercury Nashville took an interest and signed her a contract. Unlike her later releases in which she had a major role in writing, Twain has writing credits on only one song the album.

The album was not commercially successful upon its original release, only reaching number 67 on the US Country Albums chart. Three singles were released from the album, none of which cracked the top 40 at country radio. The album was later re-released in 2000 following the massive success of Twain's later albums. It was later certified Platinum by the RIAA in 1999.

Twain performed the song "What Made You Say That" during her Come on Over Tour in 1999, but has not performed any of the album's songs since. No selections from Shania Twain were included on her 2004 Greatest Hits album. "What Made You Say That" is included on her Netflix documentary companion compilation album Not Just a Girl (The Highlights) released on July 26, 2022.
