Ralph Tresvant is the debut solo studio album by American R&B singer Ralph Tresvant. The album was released by MCA Records on November 20, 1990, in the United States. It went to number one on the Irish Albums Chart for 12 weeks, and on the US Top R&B Albums chart for two weeks and peaked into the top 20 on the US Billboard 200 chart. It features the number one single, "Sensitivity" along with two more top five R&B hits: "Do What I Gotta Do" and "Stone Cold Gentleman", which featured labelmate Bobby Brown, and has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) within its first year of release, and achieved double-platinum status a few years after.

Ian Cranna in Q noted that the album "is a rather uneasy amalgam of dance grooves, strings, hip hop and lush ballads".

AllMusic editor Alex Henderson found that Tresvant's "self-titled R&B/pop release isn't as distinguished or as confident as the music Bell Biv DeVoe, Bobby Brown and Johnny Gill had been doing on their own, but it has its moments [...] Some of urban contemporary's hottest producers (Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and Wolf & Epic, among others) are employed, and yet, the overall results aren't as strong as one might expect. None of the material is really bad; it's just that most of it isn't that far above average."
