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/Sire Records.

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.
