An Evening with Billie Holiday (MG C-144) is the second 10-inch LP studio album by jazz singer Billie Holiday, released by Clef Records in 1953.[5]

In 1956, when the 10-inch format was phased out, the album was reissued by Clef with the same artwork, and seven of the eight tracks, as a 12-inch LP called A Recital by Billie Holiday (MG C-686).[6] The track "Tenderly", was moved to another 12-inch compilation called Solitude. Five additional tracks were added that had been previously released on her third 10-inch LP, simply titled Billie Holiday.
