Most Beloved or Beloved (Chinese: 寵愛) is an album by Leslie Cheung released in 1995 after a long personal struggle between deciding to make a comeback or to make good his retirement vow. It was also his first album with Rock Records.

It marked the milestone of another chapter of Leslie Cheung's career as it was his first album after supposedly retiring from the music world six years ago at the height of his career.
