Libra is the sixth studio album by American singer Toni Braxton, released on September 27, 2005, by Blackground Records. It marked Braxton's debut on the label, following her split with longtime record company Arista Records in 2003 after the release of her album More Than a Woman (2002), which was commercially less successful than its predecessors. The album's title is a reference to Braxton's astrological sign, Libra.

Upon its release, the album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 and at number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums album, selling 114,000 copies in its first week. It has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on November 4, 2005, having sold over 441,000 copies in the United States to date. Singles such as "Please" and "Trippin' (That's the Way Love Works)" failed to sell or chart noticeably on both the pop and the R&B charts, although "The Time of Our Lives", Braxton's collaboration with the group Il Divo for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, prompted her German label Edel Records to re-release the album in continental Europe in June 2006.
In August 2021, Blackground rebranded as Blackground 2.0, with Barry Hankerson remaining as founder. Blackground 2.0 signed a distribution deal with Empire Distribution, which will re-release the label's catalogue onto digital download sites and streaming services for the first time ever, including Libra.[1][2][3]
