'Kylie' is the debut album by Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue. It was released by PWL on 4 July 1988, and received mixed reviews. Chris True of Allmusic describes the album's songs as "dated at best", but writes that Minogue's "cuteness makes these rather vapid tracks bearable". Kylie peaked at number one in the United Kingdom, and it produced three number one singles in Australia. In North America the album peaked low on the Billboard charts, yet still managed to sell over 500,000 copies and was certified gold.

In Australia, the album was re-issued as The Kylie Collection and featured bonus remixes. Kylie was certified seven times platinum in the UK and has sold over 7.5 million copies worldwide.
