Eye Candy is the second and final studio album by the British girl group Mis-Teeq. It was released by Telstar Records on 29 March 2003 in the United Kingdom. Like their previous album, the album was re-issued twice: the first time, with the addition of bonus tracks and remixes, was entitled the limited edition, and the second time, the limited edition was re-issued with the addition of a bonus DVD, which was entitled the special edition. Three singles were released from the album, one of which ("Style") only appears on the limited edition.

In his review for The Guardian, Dave Simpson wrote that Eye Candy "documents Mis-Teeq's post-fame rollercoaster with breathless, Hard Day's Night-type detail. It's a life every girl dreams of - being whisked from club to party and at least two hours in make-up - but behind the dream lies the reality of "dawn to dusk in the studio" and brittle personal relationships. Such candour makes Eye Candy a sharp career move, but one with humanity and depth. And that title is clearly an ironic in-joke: on the cover, Mis-Teeq preen prettily with waxed legs, but inside, they prove their worth."[1] BBC Music critic Bren O'Callaghan found that "veering between underground and packaged pop, each track on Eye Candy evades definition from one to the next or even partway through [...] It's exactly this type of mix that should stand them in good stead with clubbers and DJs alike. They have mainstream appeal, as they pout and strut for the cameras, and they have credible content for unlikely dance floor fusions."[2]
