The Complete Capitol Singles Collection is a 1996 box set by the American singer Frank Sinatra.

This four-disc set contains all the singles -- A-sides and B-sides—that Sinatra recorded for Capitol Records between 1953 and 1960 with the notable exception of "If You Are But A Dream" which was inexplicably omitted. It is available on an Australian double CD only. Among them are duets with Bing Crosby, Keely Smith, June Hutton, and the Nuggets, who provided vocal backing at a 1955 session where Sinatra made two forays into rock 'n' roll. Those songs, along with about 20 others, make their first appearance on compact disc with this set. The packaging includes many photographs, detailed session notes, and a long essay by Will Friedwald, who explains that Sinatra followed a "singles aesthetic" that set these songs quite apart from the "concept" albums he was recording simultaneously for Capitol.
