Freedom is the 13th studio album by Sheena Easton released only in Japan, where it charted at number 53.

The album consists of smooth, catchy dance-pop songs including the singles "Modern Girl '97", "Love Me with Freedom", and "When You Speak My Name". Easton had co-writing credits on songs "One Man" and "Love Will Make You Wise" and producing credits on three tracks. The album also includes cover versions of the country/R&B classic "Misty Blue", best known by Dorothy Moore's 1973 soul version, and Steve Perry's 1985 rock hit "Foolish Heart".

Easton released Freedom on her own label (SkyJay Trax) on 28 May 1997, at the same time she officially opened her website. In February 2007, Fuel Records (Varèse Sarabande) re-released Freedom with a slip cover and different artwork in the United States.
