Harlequin est un album compagnon de la chanteuse et auteure-compositrice américaine Lady Gaga, publié le 27 septembre 2024 par Interscope Records. Cet album est inspiré par le film musical et thriller Joker : Folie à Deux (2024), où Lady Gaga interprète le rôle du personnage emblématique de DC Comics, Harley Quinn.

Lady Gaga a décrit Harlequin comme un « album compagnon » du film, bien que certains médias l’aient présenté comme une bande originale complémentaire à celle sortie officiellement une semaine plus tard. Les critiques ont toutefois interprété Harlequin comme un album conceptuel centré sur le personnage de Harley Quinn, offrant une perspective unique de Gaga sur la super-vilaine. L'album inclut des reprises de standards du jazz américain figurant également dans la bande originale du film, ainsi que deux chansons originales de Gaga. Avec Harlequin, elle approfondit son exploration du jazz, après ses albums collaboratifs avec le chanteur Tony Bennett, Cheek to Cheek (2015) et Love for Sale (2021). Gaga a qualifié Harlequin de « pop vintage ».
