Tony Bennett on Holiday is an album by Tony Bennett, released in 1997.

On this album Bennett records many of the songs most associated with Billie Holiday. In 1998 Bennett yet again won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance for it.

The final track, "God Bless the Child", was an electronically-created "duet" with the long-dead Lady Day and Count Basie; it received poor notices, unlike the rest of the album.
