Starting Over is the title of an album released by American country singer Reba McEntire in 1995. It was a tribute to her roots and influences, featuring covers of songs and artists who she admired growing up. Among the artists being covered were Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, The Supremes, Lee Greenwood and Patti LaBelle. The album featured only one Top 10 single, "Ring On Her Finger, Time On Her Hands", which was previously a Top Ten hit for Greenwood in the mid-1980s; McEntire's rendition was a Top Ten hit as well upon its 1996 release.

McEntire called on Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride and Linda Davis to join her for On My Own, the album's first single. Additionally, a CBS television special entitled Reba: Celebrating 20 Years featured McEntire performing songs from the album in concert interspersed with footage of her returning home to her family in Oklahoma. The special was eventually released separately on video. The album peaked at #1 on the Billboard country chart and at #5 on the Billboard 200. It is certified Platinum by the RIAA.
