Virtuoso No. 4 is an album by American jazz guitarist Joe Pass, recorded in 1973 and released in 1983 (see 1983 in music). Originally a double-LP, it was re-issued in 1993 on CD with three additional tracks ("Weaselocity", "Blues for Pete", "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?").

Virtuoso No. 4 differs from the three previous Virtuoso releases in that it is performed on acoustic guitar instead of electric (with the exception of "Indian Summer").
