Milagro (Jaci Velasquez Album)
''Milagro'' ("Miracle") (2003) is the third Latin album by Christian singer Jaci Velasquez. This record won a Billboard Latin Music Award in the category "Best Christian Album".

The album was nominated for "Best Female Pop Vocal Album" at the Latin Grammy Awards in 2004.
