"Truth Is" is a song recorded by American singer Fantasia for her debut studio album Free Yourself (2004). It was written by Carsten Schack and Alex Cantrell, and produced by Soulshock & Karlin. A piano-driven R&B track, it incorporates a sample from "Highways of My Life" by the Isley Brothers; the group's members thus received writing credits for "Truth Is". The song was released as the lead single from Free Yourself on November 15, 2004, by J Records and 19 Recordings.

"Truth Is" peaked at number 21 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and at number two on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. In 2006, it won an ASCAP R&B/Hip-Hop Award, along with "Free Yourself".
