Spell My Name is the tenth studio album by American singer Toni Braxton. It was released by Island Records on August 28, 2020. Her debut with the record label, following a short-lived stint with Def Jam Recordings on her eighth album Sex & Cigarettes (2018), Braxton assumed more control on Spell My Name, again taking a greater hand in writing and producing the material. Her collaborations included frequent collaborators Paul Boutin, Antonio Dixon, and Babyface as well as singers and songwriters such as Patrick "J. Que" Smith, Chris Braide, Dapo Torimiro, Soundz, Kirby Lauryen, and Missy Elliott.

The album received generally positive reviews by music critics who complimented its production standards but criticized its length and the preponderance of balladry on the album. On the charts, Spell My Name failed to repeat the success of Sex & Cigarettes, becoming Braxton's lowest-charting yet with a peak at number 163 on the US Billboard 200. Its release was preceded by the singles "Do It" and "Dance", the former of which peaked at number one on the US Billboard Adult R&B Songs, and followed by "Gotta Move On" featuring singer H.E.R., Braxton's eleventh topper on the chart.
