"Wynonna" is the debut album of American country music artist Wynonna Judd. It was released in 1992 (see 1992 in country music) on MCA Records in association with Curb Records as her first solo debut album. Before the release of "Wynonna", she recorded alongside her mother, Naomi, as The Judds, a duo which charted more than twenty country singles in the 1980s and early 1990s until hepatitis forced Naomi to retire.

Certified 5× Multi-Platinum in the U.S. for sales of five million copies, "Wynonna" produced three consecutive Number One hits on the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts in "She Is His Only Need", "I Saw the Light", and "No One Else on Earth", as well as a #4 in "My Strongest Weakness". "I Saw the Light" was also the Number One country song of 1992, according to "Billboard".

"When I Reach the Place I'm Goin'" was later recorded by Patty Loveless on her 2005 album "Dreamin' My Dreams".
