¿Dónde Están los Ladrones? (Spanish for "Where are the thieves?") is an album by Shakira, released in 1998.

Shakira's fourth studio album, ¿Dónde Están los Ladrones? sold over 1,500,000 copies in the U.S. alone, and close to 7.5 million copies worldwide (although the exact amount is unknown). Though the album did not surface well on the Billboard 200, peaking at #131, the album is one of the highest selling Spanish-language albums in the United States. The album's title refers to a trip on which Shakira's bag (which contained the album's lyrics) was stolen. It was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1999.
