Miki Howard is the third studio album by American R&B singer Miki Howard, released in 1989 on Atlantic Records. The album peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart. Howard scored her first number-one song with the lead single released from the album, "Ain't Nuthin' in the World", on the Billboard R&B Singles chart.

The follow-up singles, "Love Under New Management" written by Philly songwriters Gabriel Hardeman, G Syier Hawkins Brown and Annette Hardeman and a cover of Aretha Franklin's 1974 number-one R&B hit, "Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)", both scored top five success peaking at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, on the R&B Singles chart. Howard's version of "Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)" also reached No. 67 on the UK Singles Chart, her first and only song on this chart.
