(pronounced and alternatively known as Cross; considered self-titled on several countries' iTunes Stores) is the debut studio album by French electronic music duo Justice. It was first released on 18 June 2007 through Ed Banger Records and Because Music in most countries and Vice Records in the United States.

Recorded during 2005 and 2006 in Paris, Cross was aimed to be an "opera-disco" album. It features many samples and "microsamples" throughout, with about 400 albums being used as sampled material. The song "D.A.N.C.E." was inspired by and dedicated to Michael Jackson. French musician DVNO and vocalist Uffie both make appearances on the album as featured artists for "DVNO" and "TThhEe PPaARRtTYY", respectively.

Cross was supported by the singles "Waters of Nazareth", "D.A.N.C.E.", "DVNO", "Phantom", and "TThhEe PPaARRtTYY". A controversial music video was also released for "Stress". Upon release, it received positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success, reaching number 11 on the French albums chart and number one on the UK and US dance album charts. The album was nominated for Best Electronic/Dance Album and "D.A.N.C.E." was nominated for Best Dance Recording and Best Video at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards. Cross was later certified gold in the UK on 9 December 2011, for passing shipments of 100,000 copies.
