Hope-Full is an album by jazz pianist Elmo Hope recorded in 1961 for the Riverside label. Hope performs 5 solo piano pieces and three piano duets with his wife Bertha.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "solo albums by the bop musicians were considered a bit unusual, but Elmo Hope (an underrated composer and pianist) fares quite well during this Riverside set".
