Fable (Chinese: 寓言) is a 2000 album by Beijing-based C-pop singer Faye Wong.

The album is structured into 3 basic parts. The first five tracks deal with certain aspects of Buddhism and fairy tales, especially that of Cinderella. The next three are radio-friendly pop songs. The next two, "Farewell Firefly" and "Book of Laughter and Forgetting" are sung in Mandarin, but have alternate versions, "Firefly" and "Love Letter to Myself," which Faye sings in Cantonese.
