Sinatra at the Sands with Count Basie (or simply titled Sinatra at the Sands) is an album by Frank Sinatra, with the Count Basie Band, conducted and arranged by Quincy Jones, recorded live at the Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. It was released in 1966 (see 1966 in music).

It is considered Sinatra's finest live album, [citation needed]as well as the first Sinatra live album to be commercially released, and contains many definitive readings of the songs that are most readily associated with Sinatra.

Sinatra and Basie had previously collaborated together on 1963's Sinatra-Basie and 1964's It Might As Well Be Swing, with both albums released on Sinatra's Reprise label.

The album was remixed and remastered and released in DVD-Audio in high-resolution stereo and multi-channel surround in 2003, without the song Luck Be a Lady.
