Princess Tabu is the second studio album by Australian vocal duo, and sisters, Vika & Linda Bull. It was released in August 1996 and debuted and peaked at number 30 on the Australian ARIA albums chart. According to Vika and Linda's website, the title is inspired by fairytale or fable about twin sisters. Their mother died in childbirth, and they were separated for ten years, they grew up alone, and apart. One was called Princess 'Ta', and the other, Princess 'Bu'.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 1997, the album was nominated for Best Adult Contemporary Album, but lost to Good Luck by My Friend The Chocolate Cake.
