The Pretty Toney Album is the fourth solo album by American hip hop artist Ghostface Killah, a member of the Wu-Tang Clan.

It is the only album from the artist to be released solely under the title of "Ghostface" ("Killah" is entirely omitted in any reference to his name on the packaging); however, it is otherwise a normal Ghostface Killah release in line with the rest of his catalogue.
