Myriad Road is a 2015 jazz album by Natacha Atlas. The album was composed and produced by Ibrahim Maalouf,{{cite news|last1=Saeed|first1=Saeed|title=Mawazine Sessions: Chanteuse Natacha Atlas on her latest album and collaborating with Ibrahim Maalouf|url=http://www.thenational.ae/arts-life/music/mawazine-sessions-chanteuse-natacha-atlas-on-her-latest-album-and-collaborating-with-ibrahim-maalouf|work=The National|date=July 11, 2016}} with additional songs written by Natacha Atlas and Samy Bishai. The album, which is Atlas' first jazz record, features songs in both English and Arabic.

The album was first conceived in 2011 when Atlas and Maalouf met at a concert in Istanbul. Maalouf wanted to create a work that would avoid the characteristics of her earlier electropop albums which emphasized traditional costumes and belly dancing.{{cite news|last1=Mechai|first1=Hassina|title="Myriad Road" : Natacha Atlas "jazz" with Ibrahim Maalouf|url=http://afrique.lepoint.fr/culture/musique-myriad-road-natacha-atlas-jazze-avec-ibrahim-maalouf-27-12-2015-2005500_2256.php|work=Le Point|date=December 27, 2015|language=French}}{{cite news|last1=Berthod|first1=Anne|title=D'un coup de trompette magique, Natacha Atlas se transforme en Lady Jazz|url=http://www.telerama.fr/sortir/d-un-coup-de-trompette-magique-natacha-atlas-se-transforme-en-lady-jazz,132461.php|work=Télérama|date=October 13, 2015}}
