Ella Returns to Berlin is a 1961 (see 1961 in music) live album by Ella Fitzgerald, with a trio led by the pianist Lou Levy, and also featuring the Oscar Peterson trio.
The album's title refers to Fitzgerald's more famous concert in Berlin a year earlier (Ella in Berlin: Mack the Knife), which had included her famous rendition of "Mack the Knife", which earned her a Grammy Award for Best Female Vocal Performance (Single).
Like Ella in Rome: The Birthday Concert, this concert was first released thirty years after it was originally recorded, in 1991.
