Mite (見て, Look) is the third studio album by Japanese singer/songwriter Chisato Moritaka, released on November 17, 1988 by Warner Pioneer. After her second album Mi-ha and her EP Romantic, Moritaka wrote the lyrics for the majority of the songs in this album; a trend that continued for the rest of her career.[1][2]

The album peaked at No. 5 on Oricon's albums chart and sold over 66,000 copies, making it Moritaka's first top-five album. It was also her last album to be issued on LP.[3][4]
