Christina Milian is the debut studio album by American singer Christina Milian. It was released on January 23, 2002, by Def Soul.

Milian made her first professional musical appearance on Ja Rule's single "Between Me and You", which led to a record deal with Def Soul in 2000. Milian traveled to Sweden where she collaborated with several producers, most notably Bloodshy & Avant, who helmed five tracks from Christina Milian. Milian co-wrote 11 of the 12 songs on the album, taking inspiration from personal experiences. The album's musical style is mostly dance and R&B, and critics noted similarities to Milian's contemporaries Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Milian was displeased by Def Soul's portrayal of her image, which she felt was constantly changing and confusing the audience.

Upon release, Christina Milian received mixed reviews from music critics, with praise directed towards pop-influenced material, and criticism towards a perceived lack of originality. The album's domestic release was shelved due to the September 11 attacks, which occurred two weeks before its intended US release date of September 25, 2001. Internationally, the album peaked at number 23 in the UK, and within the top 20 in Japan. It spawned two singles, "AM to PM" and "When You Look at Me", both of which became top-10 hits in the UK. Christina Milian would remain unreleased in the US until August 21, 2020, when a deluxe edition was made available for digital consumption.
