Getz/Gilberto is an album released in 1964 by Stan Getz and João Gilberto, featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Released at the peak of the bossa nova craze in the U.S., it brought together saxophonist Getz, who had already popularized the genre with his LP Jazz Samba, with Gilberto, who had originated the style, and Jobim, composer of its best-known songs. It became one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time, and turned singer Astrud Gilberto, who sang on "The Girl from Ipanema" and "Corcovado", into an international sensation.
