Mastermind is the second studio album by the British dance-pop diva Tina Cousins released in Australia and New Zealand in 2005. It debuted at #48 on the ARIA Australian album charts.

"The album is cooler than Killing Time, there's a couple more ballads and a reworked version of one of my older tracks, but my favourite is definitely the title track Mastermind", Tina said.

The album includes the hit singles, "Wonderful Life", "Come to Me", "Hymn" and "Pretty Young Thing."
