The Unlikely Lad is the debut album from English singer Tyler James. It was released on 29 August 2005 as a digital download and was ineligible to chart on the UK Albums Chart (as chart rules at the time did not encompass download sales). Following James' participation in the first series of The Voice UK in 2012, the album reached a peak of 34 on the UK Album Downloads Chart, and was released on CD for the first time.

The album spawned three singles: "Why Do I Do?", "Foolish" and "Your Woman".
