Heavy Soul is the fourth solo album by English singer-songwriter Paul Weller, originally released on 23 June 1997 (5 August in the US). The album received largely favourable reviews. It sold enough to be the number one album on its week of release, however it was denied this position on a technicality – five images within the album's booklet were replaced with postcards of the images in the Special Edition release, meaning that sales of the Special Edition did not count towards the album's sales as they were defined as free gifts.

The title was lifted from a 1961 Ike Quebec album of the same name.
