Mr. A-Z is an album by Jason Mraz, released on July 26, 2005. It is the studio follow-up to his first studio album Waiting for My Rocket to Come, released in 2002. While panned by many critics, it was a moderate commercial success and debuted at #5 on Billboard's Top 200 albums chart. It also won a Grammy award for Best Engineered Album, and producer Steve Lillywhite, who previously worked with Coldplay, the Dave Matthews Band, and the Rolling Stones, was nominated for Best Producer for his work on Mr. A-Z.

An opera solo performed by Mraz himself can be found on the track "Mr. Curiousity".
