Peachberry (ピーチベリー, Pīchiberī) is the 11th studio album by Japanese singer/songwriter Chisato Moritaka, released on July 16, 1997, by One Up Music. The album marked the 10th anniversary of Moritaka's music career. A limited edition release was packaged in a cardboard box and included 13 photographs; each with lyrics to a corresponding song.[2][3]

Peachberry draws inspiration from Moritaka's love of the Beatles' music, with some of the tracks recorded at Abbey Road Studios.[1] The song "Tony Slavin" is named after the Liverpool barber shop that the Beatles referenced in their 1967 song "Penny Lane".[4]

The album reached No. 4 on Oricon's albums chart and sold over 322,000 copies.[5][6] It was also Moritaka's last studio album to be certified Gold by the RIAJ.[7]
