Soul Deep is the fifth studio album by Australian rock singer Jimmy Barnes. It was his sixth consecutive Australian No. 1 album. The album is a collection of soul covers and featured duets with John Farnham and Diesel. A special edition was later released in a black fold-out cover with embossed gold lettering and included five bonus live tracks and a set of collector cards.

The album was reissued for its 30th anniversary on 17 June 2022, titled Soul Deep 30. It includes the 12 original Soul Deep recordings, with four new songs (two placed before the original 12 tracks, and two after).
