L'incroyable Vérité is the debut album by French musician Sébastien Tellier. It was released in 2001 via Record Makers. The music was written by Tellier with lyrics by Mathieu Tonetti and Tellier. With material from the album, Tellier joined the band Air in their United States tour in the summer of 2001. The song "Fantino" appears in 2003 film Lost in Translation and the song "Universe" is featured in 2006 film Daft Punk's Electroma. The album received favorable reviews upon release.

L'incroyable Vérité is a pop album featuring styles from lo-fi electronica to bizarre cabaret tunes. Its sleeve featured Tellier in full evening dress on the front, while the back of jacket had a shot of him cavorting in a playboy's pool. He instructed listeners only to listen to the album by candlelight.
