Soul Kiss (ソウル・キス?, Sōru Kisu) is the second studio album by Chara, which was released on September 1, 1992. It debuted at #14 on the Japanese Oricon album charts, and charted in the top 200 for seven weeks. It eventually sold 65,000 copies.

It was preceded by the single debut single Ōki na Jishin ga Kitatte (大きな地震がきたって?, Even If There's a Great Earthquake) in July. A re-cut single, Ai no Jibaku Sōchi (愛の自爆装置?, Love Suicide Bombing Gear), was released two months after the album's release date. It featured rock musician Rolly Teranishi in background vocals. Neither of these singles charted in the Oricon top 100 singles.

In December 1992, Soul Kiss received a Japan Record Award for best rock/pop album from a new artist. In October 1993, the album was awarded the first Ryoichi Hattori Music Festival Album of Excellence Award, created in memory of Hattori, who died in January of that year.
