Leisure is the debut album by English rock band Blur, released on August 26, 1991 in the UK, charting at #7 in the UK Albums Chart. It was released in the US a month later and featured various differences.

Leisure included three UK singles and the song "Sing" was replaced by b-side "I Know". The album also gave Blur their first top ten hit with "There's No Other Way". Sing was included on the Trainspotting soundtrack.

Released during the waning days of the Shoegazing period, Leisure was considered an album that was catching the end of a trend, as were Blur. But they would reinvent themselves with their second album, Modern Life Is Rubbish, in 1993.
