24 Kilates (English: 24 Carats) is the second studio album by Mexican pop singer Paulina Rubio, released by Capitol Latin on November 16, 1993. The album was produced by Miguel Blasco, while the songs were written mostly by Cesar Valle, Don Matamoros and C. Sánchez.

Four singles were taken from the album. The first single was "Nieva, Nieva", which was successful on the charts, reaching number one in Mexico. The album also generated the singles "Él Me Engañó", "Asunto De Dos" and "Vuelve Junto A Mí", which was only released in the United States, where he appeared on the Billboard charts.

24 Kilates received mixed reviews from music critics, who considered the album "rock-oriented" with influences of jazz, funk, blues and dance as their first album. The album had commercial success, reached the top in Mexico and sold 150,000 in Mexico a few weeks after its release.[2] After its initial success, the album was promoted in South America through Rubio's first visit to the Festival of Viña del Mar in Chile, where it was very well received by the public.
