30 by Ella is a 1968 (see 1968 in music) studio album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald.
The albums unusual construction of six medleys of songs neatly fulfilled Fitzgerald's obligations for Capitol Records, making her free to persue other projects. The album was arranged by Benny Carter.
