Divinidylle is the fifth studio album by French singer Vanessa Paradis, released on 27 August 2007 by Barclay. It was recorded between November 2005 and June 2007. Critical reception was favourable, with AllMusic suggesting that it was "likely Paradis' best album yet".[1] The artwork for the album was designed by American actor Johnny Depp, Paradis' companion at the time.

The lead single, "Divine Idylle", was released to French radio in June 2007. According to Francophonie Diffusion, it was the most-played French single worldwide during 2007.[2]

The track "Divine Idylle" was covered by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai under the title "Love Attraction" on the 2009 album Butterfly.
