Independence is an album by Scottish singer Lulu, released in 1993. It was Lulu's first release of new material since 1982.

Rolling Stone gave the album three stars, describing it as "a classy, good-hearted effort."Spin Magazine recommended the album, describing Lulu as having assumed "the mantle of soul survivor, achieving (Lisa) Stansfield status on the title track."Jose F. Promis, in reviewing the album for AllMusic, stated that "This isn't a bad album, by any means; it just could have been better."

The title track was a hit in Europe, but less so in the United States. It reached No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart, and No. 3 on the US dance charts. It is described by reviewer Jose F. Promis as "...housey and anthem-like...(and) stands as one of the better dance-pop songs of the decade." Despite this, the album only briefly charted, peaking at #67 in the UK Albums Chart.
