Body, Mind, Soul is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Debbie Gibson, released on January 19, 1993 by Atlantic Records. The album failed to find favor with the record buying public and missed out on the U.S. top 100, peaking at No. 109,[6] and also in the UK when it was released a few months later. However, the album was a hit in Japan, peaking at No. 13 on the charts. It was Gibson's last studio album under Atlantic Records.

The album was included in the 2017 box set We Could Be Together, with two B-sides and three remixes as bonus tracks.[7]
