Dream a Dream is the third album by Welsh soprano Charlotte Church, released in 2000. The album is principally a collection of Christmas carols but also includes the non-Christmas title track "Dream a Dream", Church's first foray into a more pop-influenced genre, composed by James Shearman and Simon Greenaway based on the melody from Fauré's "Pavane" with lyrics by Sam Babenia.

Dream a Dream was also the biggest-selling holiday album of 2000 in the United States with sales of 1,077,000 according to Nielsen/SoundScan. On 6 December 2000, Dream a Dream was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipments of one million copies in the U.S. By 5 December 2008, the album had accumulated total sales of 1,630,000 copies in the U.S. according to SoundScan.
