Humaine is the name of the third studio album recorded by the French singer Hélène Ségara. It was released in March 2003, and had a smash success in France, Belgium (Wallonia) and Switzerland, reaching the top five in these countries.

For this third album, Ségara was surrendered by several songwriters and composers that had already worked for her on the two previous studio albums, such as the Nacash brothers and Christian Loigerot. Gioacchino Maurici, French singer Calogero's brother, participated in the music of "Regarde", Patrick Juvet composed that of "Je rêve", while Pierre Souchon, son of Alain Souchon, made that of "On ne dit pas". The song "Je n'oublie que toi" was entirely composed by famous French singer and songwriter Maxime Le Forestier.

Four of the five singles from this album were released as CD singles. "L'Amour est un soleil" (number two) and the duet with Laura Pausini "On n'oublie jamais rien, on vit avec" (number three) were certified Gold disc, while "Encore une fois" (number 32) and "On ne dit pas" (number 26) were less successful.

In France, the album went straight to number one on 15 March 2003, and stayed there for another week. Then it dropped slowly on the chart until number 49, but reached again the top 20 on 3 August. It totaled eleven weeks in the top ten, 52 weeks in the top 50, 57 weeks in the top 50 and 68 weeks in the top 200. Certified double platinum, it was ranked number nine on the 2003 French Albums Chart. The album also charted for two weeks on the French Mid Price Albums Chart, peaking at number 24 on 3 June 2005.
