Miss Peggy Lee Sings the Blues is a 1988 studio album by jazz singer Peggy Lee. This was Lee's first album for nine years, and the first of two albums that she recorded for the Musicmasters label.

Scott Yanow reviewed the album for AllMusic and wrote that "By 1988, 68-year-old Peggy Lee did not have much of a voice left. Although she was still determined, physical problems had weakened her, and despite Gene Lees' absurd raving in the liner notes ("Her work has never flagged, the quality of it has never faltered"), this set finds her way past her prime." Yanow described the material as "pretty strong" and praised the quintet that supported Lee on the album, and concluded his review by writing that "This is one of the better releases from Peggy Lee's later years, but it still pales next to her 1950s recordings."
