Celtic Woman: Believe, or simply Believe, is the sixth studio album by the group Celtic Woman, released on 25 May 2011 in Japan.[1] This album was intended to be released exclusively in the country to promote the film Princess Toyotomi.[2]

Believe features vocalists Chloë Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Lisa Lambe, and fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt.[1][3] This is Celtic Woman's first album to feature Lambe as their newest member (at the time).

Another album of the same title was released on 24 January 2012 to tie in with a PBS special of the same title, filmed live at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia in September 2011.[4][5] Both the album, the PBS special and DVD featured new music from Agnew, Kelly, Lambe and Nesbitt. The performance was broadcast on PBS stations on 3 December 2011.[6] The Believe tour, which linked into this album and concert, toured both North America between February and April 2012 and Europe between May and June 2012, but with the addition of Susan McFadden in place of Lisa Kelly, who was at the time on maternity leave. Kelly later left the group in early 2013, making Believe the last album to feature Kelly.
