"Jo Dee Messina" is the self-titled debut album of American country music singer Jo Dee Messina, released in 1996.

It was co-produced by country music artist Tim McGraw and McGraw's frequent co-producer Byron Gallimore. The album's first two singles ("Heads Carolina, Tails California" and "You're Not in Kansas Anymore") both reached Top 10 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts in 1996; however, "Do You Want to Make Something of It" and "He'd Never Seen Julie Cry" both failed to enter Top 40.

The album reached #2 on the Top Country Albums and #146 on the Billboard 200. Seven years after its release, it was certified gold in the United States.
