Limón y Sal ("Lemon and Salt") is the title of the fourth studio album released by Mexican singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas. It was recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina and first released in Mexico on May 30, 2006 and in the United States on June 6, 2006. To date the album has sold over 3.000.000 copies worldwide.

The album's overall themes deal with the general ups and downs of life and relationships. All the songs were composed by Venegas, with the exception of three songs, where she had the help of Coti Sorokin and Cachorro López. Some notable songs are "Primer Día" and its reggae rhythm, sung in a duet with Dante Spinetta. In "De Qué Me Sirve" she plays the accordion in a tango and "bolero" fashion. "Eres Para Mí" is a duet with Chilean singer Anita Tijoux.

The album was nominated for Album of the Year at the Latin Grammy Awards of 2006, winning one prize for Best Alternative Music Album and won for Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album, sharing a historical tie with Ricardo Arjona and his album "Adentro"

The song "Canciones de Amor" was used in the 2007 film The Heartbreak Kid.
