Mediocre (Spanish pronunciation: [meˈðjokɾe]) is the debut studio album by Mexican singer-songwriter Ximena Sariñana, released in the US on 12 February 2008 via Warner Music Mexico. It reached number ten on the Billboard Latin Pop Albums, and spawned the hit single "Vidas Paralelas". The album gained additional attention when the iTunes Store featured Sariñana's song "Normal" as the canción de la semana —iTunes' free Latino song of the week— during the week of 8 July 2008.

Mediocre garnered positive reviews from many critics, receiving five stars from SoMinty, four stars from Time Out, and four stars from Rolling Stone. Many critics praised the album for being an eclectic album with a diverse style of songs featuring pop, rock, alternative, and nueva canción styles. It helped Sariñana receive a nomination for Best New Artist at the 9th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, it also received a nomination for Best Latin Rock, Alternative or Urban Album at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards.

In the summer of 2023, in celebration of the 15th anniversary of its release, Sariñana performed in a 4-show residency at the Lunario of the National Auditorium and one at the Teatro Metropolitano in Querétaro.
