Homeland is a 2000 album by South African singer Miriam Makeba. It was released in 2000 on CD by world music label Putumayo. It includes a duet starring Makeba and Zenzi Lee in a renovated version of Makeba's trademark hit song "Pata Pata" (1967), entitled "Pata Pata 2000". Congolese pop star Lokua Kanza also contributed to this album both as a songwriter (for "Homeland" and "Lindelani") and as a singer ("Lindelani").

Both the title-track and the whole record are largely conceived as a celebration of the end of apartheid. The record was released a few days before the South African Freedom Day on 27 April 2000. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best World Music Album category.
