Printemps (meaning "spring" in French) is a Mandarin album by Leslie Cheung first released in 1998. This album was the first and the only original Mandarin album produced by Leslie Cheung.

Cheung also previously produced three other Mandarin albums (Admire, Refuse to Play, and Feeling of Wind). However, most of the tracks from the aforementioned albums are the Mandarin cover of the songs in his Cantopop albums. On the other hand, all songs in 'Printemps' are original.

The song 'Love Like Magic' was composed by Japanese singer-songwriter Chage, who also joined the MTV performance of the song. Compared to his last album Red, the cover of the album is pervaded by green colour, which symbolizes the color of spring. The MTV of the songs and lyric pages of the album are both in a tone of green color. Unlike most of his albums, Cheung did not work as the producer of this album.
