Come Dance With Me! is an album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released in 1959.

It was the most successful album of Frank Sinatra's career, spending two and a half years on the Billboard charts. Stereo Review wrote in 1959 that "Sinatra swaggers his way with effortless verve through an appealing collection of bouncy standards, aptly described in the album notes as vocals that dance". 'Come Dance With Me' won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year, Best Male Vocal Performance (Frank Sinatra) and for Best Arrangement (Billy May).

Peaking at #2 on Billboard's Pop album chart, Come Dance With Me stayed on the chart for 140 weeks.
