Only Human is the second album by British soul/dance singer Dina Carroll, released in 1996 on the Mercury label.
The album includes "The Perfect Year", a track which had been a top 5 single in the UK Singles Chart in 1993, during the long chart run of Carroll's debut album So Close, on which it had not been included. "Escaping" reached No. 3 in the UK, Carroll's joint highest charting single (along with "Don't Be a Stranger"). The follow up double A-sided single "Only Human/Run to You" was less successful, peaking at number 33.
While not matching the sales figures of So Close, Only Human peaked at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart, the same as its predecessor.
