Tightrope is the debut album from Australian pop singer Stephanie McIntosh, which was released on 11 September 2006, and re-released on 19 March 2007.

McIntosh worked on her debut album with award-winning songwriter/producer Tom Nichols, who has written and produced songs for the likes of Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Alistair Griffin, Kylie Minogue, S Club 7 and Atomic Kitten.

Nichols has co-written and produced McIntosh's debut album along with Rami, Greg Kurstin, Klaus Derendorf and Guy Roche.

The writing and recording process found McIntosh travelling all over the world to studios in LA, London and Sweden along with her hometown of Melbourne.

Reviews of the album were mixed, with Lizzie Ennever of the BBC wrote that "Steph’s voice isn’t bad, it’s just not very memorable or interesting" and that "[she sounds like] a good singer who’s been given a day in a recording studio as a present, rather than a future star in the making".

and "God Only Knows" were praised, the former being that "[it], in a kind of teen-angsty, 'rock out in your bedroom after a fight with your parents' way is pretty OK" and the latter being described as "going back to the rockier flavour of the opener, but again, it’s just not really very stimulating".

In reference to the album overall, Ennever wrote: "if I had to sum Tightrope up in three words, they would be bland, boring and banal", also adding "I love Sky Mangel, I do not like Stephanie McIntosh the pop star".
