Désobéissance (meaning Disobedience) is the eleventh studio album by French singer Mylène Farmer, released by Sony Music Entertainment on 28 September 2018.[3][4] On 30 November 2018, the album was re-released with a bonus DVD. Désobéissance topped the chart in France and Belgium Wallonia, and reached number 3 in Switzerland and number 19 in Belgium Flanders.

The album received generally positive reviews from critics, who noted its modern electro sound and collaborations with young artists, and found that Farmer still retained her signature style, though some believed it was less accessible than her previous work.
