Waltz for Debby is a 1961 album by the Bill Evans Trio of Evans, bassist Scott LaFaro, and drummer Paul Motian. The album was the fourth and final effort from the unit—LaFaro died in a car accident just ten days after the live date at the Village Vanguard from which Waltz For Debby and its predecessor, Sunday at the Village Vanguard were taken.

The title track, a musical portrait of Evans' niece, became a staple of his live repertoire in later years. It originally appeared as a solo piano miniature on Evans' debut album, New Jazz Conceptions.

The CD reissue of the album contains several outtakes.
