Madah Berhelah is the debut album of Malaysian singer Ziana Zain, released by BMG Music in Malaysia on 25 December 1991. The album incorporates elements of pop, ballads and traditional music and Ziana works closely with famous local composers including Fauzi Marzuki and Saari Amri.

The title track and lead single was both a critical and commercial success. It was considered to be Ziana's signature song and helped establish her career. The single was a finalist in 1992's Anugerah Juara Lagu in the "Creative Pop" category. However, the song lost to Nash's "Pada Syurga Di Wajahmu". The followup single was "Riwayat Cinta".

Madah Berhelah sold 40,000 copies in Malaysia and was certified Gold by RIM.^{[1] [2]}
