Beach Samba is a 1967 studio album by Astrud Gilberto, arranged by Eumir Deodato and Don Sebesky.

Beach Samba was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

The Allmusic review by Richie Unterberger awarded the album three stars and said that the album was "One of Gilberto's less impressive '60s Verve outings, primarily due to the more pop-oriented song selection...some of the pop choices work well, particularly Tim Hardin's gorgeous "Misty Roses."" praised "Nao Bate O Corocao" saying that it had Gilberto "cutting loose with confident, sassy scats, as she rarely did before or since"
