Fine and Mellow is a 1974 (see 1974 in music) studio album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, accompanied by many famous jazz musicians.

This album is subtitled Ella Fitzgerald Jams, and represents a return to the informal 'jam sessions' that Ella sang in on the Jazz at the Philharmonic Concerts concerts in the 1940s and 50's.

Ella's performance on this album won her the 1980 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album.
