Dulce Beat (Sweet Beat) is the second album from the Mexican electropop band Belanova.

The album was recorded between 2004–2005 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. It was officially released in Mexico on June 21, 2005, following the single "Me Pregunto". The album was produced by Cachorro López and was written by the band's singer, Denisse Guerrero. Dulce Beat was a commercial and critical success, reaching number-one and ensuring double platinum in Mexico. It has become Belanova's most successful album. In 2006, the album was released in several other countries across the world, including Chile, Spain, Argentina, and the United States. In Argentina, the band performed at radio shows and concerts where they presented the single "Me Pregunto". In Chile they performed at The Roxy, presenting all the tracks on the album. Belanova and Mach & Daddy played a concert in Los Angeles in front of 50,000 people to promote their projects; in this show, Belanova performed a cover of the song "Boys Don't Cry" by the band The Cure. On August 12, 2006, E! Latin America, aired a TV Special of Belanova, with interviews and making of the album. Singles from the album became massive hits, both of them ("Me Pregunto" and "Por Ti") became the band's second and third number-one singles in Mexico consecutively, further singles, "Rosa Pastel" and "Niño" became top five hits, the latter spending almost fifty weeks inside the chart.

A new edition of the album, entitled Dulce Beat 2.0, was released in Mexico on June 5, 2006, and in the United States on August 1. In Mexico, the re-issue debuted at number-three on the album charts and spent several weeks inside the top ten.
