"The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland" (issued internationally as "The Supremes Sing Motown") is a 1967 album by The Supremes for Motown Records. It includes the number-one hit singles "You Keep Me Hangin' On" and "Love Is Here and Now You're Gone". As the title alludes, all songs on the album were written and produced by Motown's main songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland. Most of the album was recorded during the spring and summer of 1966.

Included alongside these songs are a handful of other originals, including "Remove This Doubt" (covered by Elvis Costello) and "You're Gone, But Always in My Heart", among others. Also present on the album are covers of H-D-H penned songs for Motown artists such as The Isley Brothers ("I Guess I'll Always Love You"), The Four Tops ("It's the Same Old Song", "I'll Turn to Stone"), and Martha & the Vandellas ("(Love is Like a) Heat Wave")

The album was the group's final album fully overseen by the songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland. Within months of this release, the trio would stage a work slowdown in protest to Motown CEO's Berry Gordy's business decisions. By the end of 1967, H-D-H had departed Motown, but not before producing four final Supremes singles ("The Happening", "Reflections", "In and Out of Love", and "Forever Came Today").
