All True Man is the fourth studio album by American recording artist Alexander O'Neal. The album was a success in the UK, peaking at #2, though sales did not reach the levels of his previous album, Hearsay.

On release, the album was received favourably by the majority of music critics. it went on to peak at #49 on the Billboard 200 and reached #3 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The album's title single reached #5 on the R&B chart and #45 on the pop chart. The album launched four charting singles in the UK. "All True Man" peaked at #18 on the UK Singles Chart; "What Is This Thing Called Love?" peaked at #53; "Shame on Me" peaked at #71; "Sentimental" at #53. The album was certified gold by the RIAA in 1992. In the UK, it was also certified gold by the BPI.

In a retrospective review, Alex Henderson of AllMusic gave the album three out of five stars and wrote that "The production is slick and high-tech; the vocals are the essence of earthy soulfulness. All True Man isn't O'Neal's best or most essential Tabu/Epic release; novices, in fact, would be better off starting out with his self-titled debut album of 1985." adding that "Nonetheless, this is a respectable, satisfying effort that the singer's hardcore fans will appreciate."

All tracks written by James Harris and Terry Lewis, except where noted.
