Duets with Spanish Guitar is an album by the Brazilian guitarist Laurindo Almeida, with the singer Salli Terri and the flautist Martin Ruderman. It was originally released by Capitol Records in 1958.

The recording has often been described as a masterpiece and won an award for Best Engineered Classical Album at the 1959 Grammy Awards for the recording engineer, Sherwood Hall III. The singer Salli Terri was also nominated for Best Classical Vocal Performance at the awards. Upon hearing her version of "Bachianas Brasilieras No 5" on the album, the composer Heitor Villa-Lobos stated that he considered it to be the best recorded performance of the work.[1]

The album received extensive radio airplay and has sold consistently ever since it was released. Having originally been titled Duets with the Spanish Guitar, the current CD was released in 1990 and includes 6 bonus tracks from subsequent recordings.[2] The Allmusic review awards the album with 3 stars.[3]
