''La question'' is the eleventh album of [[{{UsefulNotes/France}} French]] {{Pop}} singer Music/FrancoiseHardy. It was released in 1971 through her own production company Hypopotam.

It was recorded during a rocky time in the relationship between Françoise and Jacques Dutronc (to the point that the album credits Pinocchio as a "catalyzer"). Françoise is accompanied with Brazilian artist Tuca who handled most of the instrumentation. With an intimate BossaNova sound and darker lyrical themes such as separation, death and anxiety, ''La Question'' marks a mature era in Françoise' discography.
