Always is the third album by British singer Hazell Dean, released in October 1988 by EMI Records.

The album coincided with Dean's comeback and features the hit singles "Who's Leaving Who" (UK No. 4), "Maybe (We Should Call it a Day)" (UK No. 15) and "Turn It into Love" (UK No. 21).[1] Also included are remixes of Dean's earlier singles; "They Say It's Gonna Rain" (UK No. 58, 1985), "No Fool (For Love)" (UK No. 41, 1985; original version included on her previous album Heart First), and "Always Doesn't Mean Forever" (UK No. 92). The album itself reached No. 38, Dean's highest placing in the album chart.[2] It was also released in the US in 1988 with an alternative cover.[3]

On 23 April 2012, a remastered deluxe double edition of the album with bonus tracks was released on the Cherry Pop UK label, including previously released singles that had not been included on any album; "ESP (Extra Sensual Persuasion)" (UK No. 98, 1986) and "Stand Up" (UK No. 79, 1986) – and several remixes.
