Tragedy is the debut studio album by the American musician Julia Holter, released by Leaving Records on August 30, 2011.

[2] Pitchfork wrote that Tragedy was Holter's "first LP... [which] calls to mind the arty, austere work of Laurie Anderson, Grouper, and Meredith Monk".

[4] Holter recorded Tragedy with electronic instrumentation, largely out of necessity, since she lacked the funds to hire session musicians.

[5] Tragedy was received positively by music critics, who cited Holter as an innovative avant-garde electronic artist.

[5] Mike Powell, reviewing the album for Pitchfork, wrote that "Holter has made a dreamy, intense album that aligns with a variety of traditions but, like a lot of great contemporary music, synthesizes them in novel or at least artful ways".
