"Ghosts" is the second album by singer Siobhán Donaghy, released on June 25, 2007. The album peaked at #92 on the UK Album Chart. This album received more media attention than her debut album, but was overall a commercial failure despite receiving excellent critical reviews.

This is Siobhán's first and last studio-album with Parlophone, as her label dropped her in August 2008.
