Waltz for Debby is a 1964 album in English and Swedish by the trio of American jazz pianist Bill Evans and the Swedish singer Monica Zetterlund. Evans met her on a tour of Sweden and was "bowled over" by her EP recording of "Waltz for Debby" with a Swedish text titled "Monicas Vals." Evans's manager, Helen Keane, set up a recording session for them at the end of the Swedish tour.[1]

The album was released on CD by West Wind in 1997 and reissued by Verve Records in 2006.[2]
