Honesty is the debut studio album by American country music artist Rodney Atkins. It was released on October 14, 2003 by Curb Records.

Honesty produced four chart singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts with "Sing Along" (No. 36), "My Old Man" (No. 37), "Honesty (Write Me a List)" (No. 4), and "Someone to Share It With" (No. 41). The album's fifth single, "Monkey in the Middle", failed to chart. This song and two others on the album were co-written by Brian Gowan, who recorded on Curb in 1997 in the duo Blake & Brian.
