Laura Pausini is Italian singer Laura Pausini's Spanish-language debut album and her third studio album issued by CGD (Warner) Records in 1994. This self-titled work offers Spanish-language renditions of selected tracks and greatest hits from her native Italian-language albums Laura Pausini (1993) and Laura (1994).

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the album, a special box was released exclusively in Spain on 8 November 2019, which consists of the standard album with two bonus tracks: "Besos que se Roban", Spanish version of "Baci che si rubano" and a 2013 medley: "La Solitudine / La Soledad / Loneliness", a second disc with the 10 Italian original versions, a third disc with alternative and live versions, a DVD of a 1995 TV special called Un Año de Éxito, the album in 180-g translucent vinyl format, a 36-page booklet with texts by the singer and Risto Mejide, and never-seen photographic material.[1]
