Classic Moments is an album recorded and released in 2005 by Patti LaBelle, her second full-length release with Island Def Jam's Def Soul Classics imprint.

Released a year after her previous album, Timeless Journey, it peaked at number 24 on the pop albums chart and number five on the R&B albums chart, while her version of Aretha and Carolyn Franklin's "Ain't No Way", a duet with Mary J.
