Three Evenings with Fred Astaire is an album by American dancer and singer Fred Astaire, released on his own label Choreo Records in 1962.[2]

The album collects songs performed by Astaire on three TV shows: An Evening with Fred Astaire (1958), Another Evening with Fred Astaire (1959), and Astaire Time (1960).

Billboard reviewed the album, writing: "Here's a solid collector's item for show music fans and veteran star Astaire's sizable following. Nostalgic, showmanly sound tracks from Astaire's three award-winning TV shows are spotlighted, featuring the star's personable delivery of great oldies (32 in all) and charming chatter about his career."[2]
