Color Me Barbra is the seventh studio album by American singer Barbra Streisand, released on Columbia Records in 1966. The album was a yet another sales success for Streisand, reaching number 3 on the US charts and was certified Gold by the RIAA. It was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 1967 Grammy Awards, but failed to win either category.

The initial release coincided with Streisand's first color TV special, color still being a novelty at the time: CBS aired Color Me Barbra on March 30, 1966.{{cite book |last1=Edwards |first1=Anne |author-link1=Anne Edwards |title=Streisand: A Biography|year=1997|publisher=Little, Brown & Company |location=New York |isbn=0-316-21138-9|page=539}} The special was rebroadcast by CBS on Sept. 14, 1995.https://www.barbra-archives.info/t-v-appearances-1990s
