All Alone is the twenty-seventh studio album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released in October 1962.

Originally, All Alone was going to be titled Come Waltz with Me. Although the title and the accompanying specially written title song were dropped before the album's release, the album remained a stately collection of waltzes, arranged and conducted by Gordon Jenkins. The original title track is included as a bonus track on the 1992 compact disc release of the album. This was the first studio album from Sinatra not to make the U.S. Top Twenty since 1950.

All of the tracks on the album are torch songs, hence the lonely name of the album. Five of the tracks were written by Irving Berlin.

The cover is a trimmed portion of a painting that hung in Sinatra's Palm Springs home.
