''Martika's Kitchen'' is the name of the second album released by pop music|pop singer and former child actor Martika. Released in 1991, it featured a number of songs written and produced by Prince (artist)|Prince. The album was a departure in musical styles from Martika's debut album. "Martika's Kitchen" incorporates elements of Gospel music|gospel, jazz, funk, Rhythm and blues|R&B and traditional Cuban music.

The album was critically praised but was a relative commercial failure in America. The title track barely cracked the Billboard Hot 100, but the Prince-penned gospel number "Love... Thy Will Be Done" went top 10.

The album was highly successful elsewhere in the world and triggered a concert tour that visited over 200 cities. The song "Coloured Kisses" charted internationally.

Building upon such previous efforts as "Toy Soldiers", the album tackled very important topics lyrically. "Broken Heart" is about crack babies; "Pride and Prejudice" deals with racism and homophobia. The Spanglish track "Mi Tierra", which features a guest vocal performance by Celia Cruz, is a lament of a Cuban-American's inability to visit her homeland.
