Guilty Pleasures is the thirty-first studio album by American singer Barbra Streisand. It was released in September 2005 in conjunction with Barry Gibb, who co-wrote all of the tracks. In Ireland and the UK, the album is titled Guilty Too. It is the follow-up to Streisand's 1980 album, Guilty, which also featured Barry Gibb. The album features a cover of Gibb's late brother Andy's song "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away".

In the United States, the album peaked at number 5 and has been certified Gold (500,000 copies sold), continuing Streisand's record of achieving the most gold and platinum records for a female artist, and in second place in general behind Elvis Presley. The album also hit the UK Albums Chart, peaking at number 3 and has been certified Platinum (over 300,000 copies sold). Both albums can also be considered partial-collaboration albums, since Streisand not only did two duets with Gibb, but Gibb could also be heard as a background vocalist in a few other songs solely by the artist herself, along with the fact that both singers were on the cover for both albums issued.
