Mended is the sixth overall solo studio album and second English studio album by American Latin pop singer-songwriter Marc Anthony, released on May 21, 2002 by Columbia Records and Sony Discos. It was re-released with two bonus tracks in 2003 as Mended: Bonus Tracks.

After going through several release date changes, Marc Anthony released his second English studio album, Mended in mid-2002, shortly after issuing Libre. Mended delivers more of Anthony's passionate, urgent songs of love and betrayal, destined for mass consumption.Jose F. Promis, All Music Guide, [{{BillboardURLbyName|artist=marc anthony|chart=all}} "Mended" album details], Retrieved January 14, 2009 The album features the hit singles "I've Got You", the Spanish version "Te Tengo Aqui", "Love Won't Get Any Better," as well as the well-known single "Tragedy." Bruce Springsteen composed a song, "I'll Stand By You Always", for Marc Anthony but the song was omitted from the album for unknown reasons.{{cite magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ExIEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA86 |magazine=Billboard |date=November 17, 2011 |accessdate=August 10, 2011 |title=Marc Anthony's Amazing Salsa on Sony's 'Libre' |first=Leila |last=Cobo |page=86 |volume=113 |number=46 |issn=0006-2510 |publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.}}
