"Ella Fitzgerald Sings Sweet Songs for Swingers" is a 1959 (see 1959 in music) album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, recorded with a studio Orchestra arranged and conducted by Frank DeVol.

Ella focuses on well known jazz standards by lesser known songwriters, a useful counter balance to her continuing songbooks project, which at this time found her in the midst of recording the epic "George and Ira Gershwin Songbook".
