Hilary Duff is the third studio album by American singer Hilary Duff. It was released on September 15, 2004, by Hollywood Records. The recording sessions for the seventeen-track album took place in between Duff's filming of Raise Your Voice (2004) and The Perfect Man (2005).

The album was a modest commercial success, and it received generally negative reviews from music critics, many of whom compared the album to the music of Avril Lavigne and Ashlee Simpson. The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 192,000 copies in its first week. To date, Hilary Duff has sold 1,800,000 copies in the US, less than her debut album which sold 3.9 million copies in the country.^[2] It became her second consecutive number one debut in Canada and produced two singles that were not major hits. It was eventually certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Hilary Duff was number 65 on Billboard magazine's year-end top albums chart in November 2005.^[3]

The lead single from Hilary Duff, "Fly" premiered on August 26, 2004, on MTV's Total Request Live. The song was officially released as a single on October 19, 2004; it peaked outside the top twenty on the Billboard Top 40 Mainstream chart but failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.^[4] "Fly" was the only single released in the United States. The second Australia-only single, "Someone's Watching Over Me", was released on February 21, 2005, to promote the film Raise Your Voice, charted at number 22 on the ARIA Singles Chart.
