Ziana Zain is the second studio album by Malaysian singer Ziana Zain, released on April 12, 1993, by BMG Pacific. The album was produced by Zuriani, M. Nasir, Saari Amri, and Anuar.

At the 1st Anugerah Industri Muzik, Ziana Zain was nominated for the Best Vocal Performance (Female).

The first single, "Anggapan Mu" topping the Carta Muzik-Muzik and many radio charts in Malaysia.

Ziana Zain has been certified Platinum by the RIM for selling 85,000 copies.[2]
