Lioness is the tenth studio album by Australian country music singer Beccy Cole. It was released in August 2018 and peaked at number 31 on the ARIA Charts. In an Australian first, Cole procured the talents of some of Australia's finest female musicians to make the only ever 100% female produced album.[1]

In an interview with ABC Cole said the album is "personal" saying "Lioness is a reflection on my marital status. I never used to write love songs, because I didn't identify with them and it took until age 40 to find love properly... and I'm so much better off and a better person because of it".[2]

At the 2019 Country Music Awards of Australia, Lioness was nominated for Traditional Country Album of the Year.[3]

At the 2019 Australian Independent Awards, Lioness won Best Independent Country Album.[4]
