The Chipmunks sing the Beatles Hits is a tribute album of Alvin and the Chipmunks singing the hits of The Beatles. It was originally released in 1964 by Liberty Records on a vinyl record. The reorganized Liberty Records reissued the album in 1982 (minus the songs "Twist And Shout" and "I Saw Her Standing There"). The first compact disc version (which used the 1982 reissue cover art, but included all twelve tracks) was issued in 1987 by EMI-Manhattan Records, and was re-released in 1995 on cassette and compact disc by Capitol Special Products (with the original front cover layout restored). The album is scheduled to be reissued on compact disc again by Capitol Records on April 29, 2008.

One single was released from the album ("All My Loving" b/w "Do You Want To Know A Secret") and a six-song stereo jukebox EP was also issued. On later pressings on the Sunset label and all reissues on vinyl, cassette and compact disc, the opening guitar chord on the song "Do You Want To Know A Secret" is partially cut off.

The stereo mix of the album mimics the stereo mixing of the early Beatles albums, with vocals predominantly in one channel and the instrumental backing in the other.

The album is comprised of Chipmunk renditions of early Beatles hits. In a December 1982 "Goldmine" magazine interview, Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. remembered that his father "thought it would be a cute idea for a Chipmunk record and he spoke with the Beatles. When he was in London, he even met the Beatles, who were very supportive of the idea."
