With Red Norvo Quintet: Live In Australia, 1959 is a live album by American singer Frank Sinatra, recorded in 1959 but released in 1997.

These tapes were recorded during two stops on Sinatra's brief Australian tour of 1959, during which he was backed by the quintet of jazz vibraphonist Red Norvo. It is considered one of the wildest performances he has ever recorded, as he exhibits great freedom in his lyric choice, often switching and twisting entire phrases. Just as Sinatra begins the "I've Got You Under My Skin", for example, a woman in the audience screams. He responds between lyrics with "Get your hands off that broad!"
