Willennium is the second solo studio album released by Will Smith. The album was released on Columbia Records in the United States on November 16, 1999 and featured the popular singles "Will 2K" and "Wild Wild West," which was also released earlier in the year on the soundtrack for the movie Wild Wild West.

"Will 2K" in particular, was specifically created as a party song for the New Year's Day for the new millennium. It sampled The Clash's "Rock the Casbah" and referenced Prince's then-timely song "1999" with the lyrics, "Now we gonna party like it's nineteen...hold up, it is." It also poked fun at the hype surrounding Y2K.

The album was certified Double Platinum by the RIAA on 17 December, 1999.
