"Milagro" is an album by Santana, released in 1992.

"Milagro", which means "miracle" in Spanish, was dedicated to the lives of Miles Davis and Bill Graham, and was Santana's first album on the Polydor label after twenty-two years with Columbia Records. It was their first new studio album not to enter the Billboard Top 100 in the United States.

As of 2007, this is the only studio album not owned by Sony BMG, a company formed by the merger of Columbia's parent Sony Music Entertainment and BMG, the parent of Santana's current label Arista Records. The album is owned by Universal Music Group, which purchased Polydor's parent PolyGram in 1998.
