Bon Jovi is the self-titled debut album by American rock band Bon Jovi, and was released in January 1984. It is also significant for being the only Bon Jovi album on which a song ("She Don't Know Me") appears that was not written or co-written by members of the band.

Sales were in excess of two million copies. The single "Runaway" was the band's first Top 40 hit, reaching #39 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984.
