Nice 'n' Easy is an album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released in 1960.

All the songs, with the notable exception of the title song, are sung as ballads and were arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle. The title song was a last-minute substitute for the originally planned "The Nearness of You", that did not appear on the original LP.

The album spent nine weeks at number on on the Billboard stereo album chart, and one week at number one on the corresponding mono album chart. [1] At the Grammy Awards of 1961, Nice 'n' Easy was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
