A Perfect Match is a 1979 (see 1979 in music) live album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, accompanied by the Count Basie Orchestra, and featuring Count Basie himself on the last track.
It is the last of four albums Fitzgerald recorded at Montreux Jazz Festival to be released.
Ella's performance on the album won her the 1980 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Female.
Two further tracks from this concert, "I Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance With You" and "Flying Home" appeared on the 1979 album Digital III at Montreux.
