A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra is a Christmas album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released by Capitol Records in 1957.

This was Sinatra's first full-length Christmas album. It features the Ralph Brewer Singers along with an orchestra conducted by Gordon Jenkins.

Capitol reissued the album in 1963 with different cover art and a new title, The Sinatra Christmas Album. The original title and cover were restored for the album's first appearance on compact disc in 1987. In 2001, the album art was altered from its 1957 version.
