Whitney Houston is the debut studio album by American singer Whitney Houston, released on February 14, 1985, by Arista Records.

It eventually topped the Billboard 200 for fourteen weeks in 1986, generating three number-one singles—"Saving All My Love for You", "How Will I Know" and "Greatest Love of All"—on the Billboard Hot 100, which made it both the first debut album and the first album by a solo female artist to produce three number-one singles in the United States. The album topped the albums charts in many countries, including Canada, Australia, Norway, and Sweden, while peaking at number 2 in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Switzerland. The album was certified Diamond for sales of ten million units or more on January 25, 1994, and later 14× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America on January 27, 2023. The album is the best-selling debut album by a solo artist, best-selling R&B album by a woman, and is also one of the best selling albums of all time, with sales of over 25 million copies worldwide.
