Beautiful Road is singer Kate Taylor's fourth album, released in 2003.

After Taylor's previous album, 1979's It's in There failed to reach its public, Taylor took a break from the music industry for the next two decades, during which time she appeared sporadically as a performer and back-up singer for various other artists, not releasing another album until Beautiful Road in 2003.

The album contained new material, and not the primarily covers of her previous work. Most of the songs were written by Taylor's husband and manager, Charlie Witham. Unfortunately, Witham fell ill while the album was being recorded and would die shortly before it was released in April 2003.

The album closes with a version "Auld Lang Syne", arranged by Taylor's brother James. Taylor covered the song himself the following year as the last song on James Taylor: A Christmas Album (2004).
