Sinatra Swings (alternately titled Swing Along With Me) is an album by Frank Sinatra, released in 1961.

The album's two titles derive from the fact that Capitol thought this album, originally titled Swing Along With Me, was so close in sound and title to Sinatra's earlier Capitol album Come Swing With Me that they sued Sinatra. Capitol won the case, and Sinatra had to change the name of this, only his second Reprise album to Sinatra Swings. All compact disc releases have retained the artwork with the alternate title intact.

It was advertised on the record sleeve as featuring "twelve of the most uninhibited Sinatra things ever recorded." The tracks were arranged and conducted by Billy May and his orchestra. Sinatra had a small hit with the single Granada included on this album.
