La Negra Tiene Tumbao (English: The Black Woman's Got Style) is the 59th album recorded by Cuban salsa recording artist Celia Cruz. It was released by Sony Music on 2 October 2001.

Upon release, the album debuted at number five on the Billboard Latin Albums chart and number two on the Billboard Tropical Albums chart. It also managed to debut at number thirty-eight on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums. At the third Latin Grammy Awards, the album won Best Salsa Album and was nominated for Album of the Year. The lead single off the album and title track, "La Negra Tiene Tumbao", was nominated for Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Music Video. It featured two other singles, "Hay Que Empezar Otra Vez" and "Pa' Arriba No Va".
Producer Sergio George was hired to produce more traditional tracks for the album. However, George wanted to try something different. According to George, he played a demo version of "La Negra Tiene Tumbao" for Cruz, "not knowing how she would respond, and that was the song that she most reacted to". "La Negra Tiene Tumbao" was the last song completed for the album.
The album was released on 2 October 2001 by Sony Discos. Sony Discos rereleased the album on 30 October 2001. On 23 July 2002, the album was rereleased with a bonus track remix of "La Negra Tiene Tumbao".
