Sogno (English: Dream) is the fifth studio album by Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, released on April 6, 1999. In 1999, Bocelli was nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys, which marked the first time a classical artist had been nominated in the category in 38 years. The Prayer, his duet with Celine Dion from the album, won the Golden Globe for Best Song and was nominated for an Academy Award.

Sogno entered the upper reaches of the pop album charts around the world, confirming Bocelli's position at the pinnacle of the world of popular music, and giving birth to the phenomenon of "Bocellimania".[2] The album sold 2.5 million copies in America,[3] and over 10 million copies worldwide.[4]

The album was released in Spanish under the name Sueño (English: Dream).[5] In Japan it was released as Yume no Kaori (夢の香り?, The Smell of Dreams).[6]
