Seal (sometimes referred to as Seal II to avoid confusion with the 1991 album of the same name) is the second self-titled album of singer Seal. The album was released in 1994 on ZTT and Sire Records and features the worldwide smash hit single "Kiss from a Rose".

The image on the cover has since become nearly synonymous with Seal, in that it has appeared on several singles covers and was reused for his greatest hits album.
