Easy to Dance With is a studio album by American dancer and singer Fred Astaire, released in 1959 on Verve Records.

Billboard reviewed the album and rated it four stars out of four, writing: "Astaire renders a flock of tunes from movies and shows in his relaxed, inimitable fashion. Five ot the tunes were cleffed by the dancer himself. It's a relaxed and easy-listening set. Release is timely due to the recent release of the singer's autobiography. Package is highlighted by an interesting cover painting of Astaire and good notes. Tunes include "New Sun in the Sky," "The Way You Look Tonight" and "I Concentrate on You.""
