Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back is a 1973 studio album by American singer Frank Sinatra.

Sinatra returned from his brief retirement with Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back. Released amidst a whirlwind of publicity, the album was a commercial success, earning gold status and peaking just outside the top-ten on the UK and Billboard album charts.

The album was accompanied by a television special, Magnavox Presents Frank Sinatra, which reunited Sinatra with Gene Kelly.

Genuine first pressings of the LP came with a bonus photo of Sinatra inside the cover.
