Pictures is the third album by British jazz and blues singer Katie Melua, and was released on 1 October 2007.

The Japanese release also contains extra tracks, "When You Taught Me How to Dance" and "Closest Thing to Crazy (acoustic version)".

In the United States, the Target store release had four extra live tracks: On 2 September 2007, iTunes began selling Pictures in many of its locations, including the UK and Australian stores in error, a month before its official release date.

However, moderators on Melua's forums had deleted any posts relating to the discussion of the release, and the "tell a friend" link on the UK iTunes Store stated the album would be available on 29 September, suggesting that it should not have been available.

In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at number two with 53,878 copies sold in its first week.
