New Beginning is the fourth album by singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman, released in 1995.

Chapman earned the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song for the track, and it was also nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance at the Grammy Awards of 1997.

The song "Unsung Psalm" was originally written and recorded for this album, but was cut.

According to Billboard magazine, the "New Beginning" single was the first disc to have a sticker printed on the back of the packaging detailing system requirements to play the multi-media footage.
