Honeymind is the third studio album by American singer and songwriter Ben Platt, released May 31, 2024 and first since signing with Interscope. Described by Platt as a "homecoming," the album was inspired by his relationship with fiancé Noah Galvin and touches on themes of Americana and queer love.

Preceding the album's release, Platt announced on social media that the first single "Andrew" would be released on March 14, 2024. To support the upcoming album, it was announced on March 18, 2024 that Platt would hold a three-week Broadway residency at the Palace Theatre in New York City, the first announced event at the theatre since its renovations began in 2018. The residency Ben Platt: Live at the Palace ran for 18 performances from May 28, 2024 to June 15, 2024. On April 11, 2024, the album's second single "Cherry on Top" was released alongside the announcement of The Honeymind Tour, a 21-city North American tour that began on June 18, 2024 in Boston and concluded on July 27, 2024 in Seattle. The album was the first of Platt's albums to not chart on the Billboard 200.
