True Believer is the twenty-first studio album by country music artist Ronnie Milsap. It was released in 1993 his first for Liberty Records. The album produced two singles, the title track, which peaked at #30 on country charts and "Better Off With the Blues," which did not chart.

The album did not chart, his first to do so since his 1971 self-named debut album. Allmusic praised the title track, stating that the record would have been one "to reckon with" if the rest of the tracks "had the energy" of the title song.
