Roy's Got Rhythm is an album by American jazz trumpeter Roy Eldridge featuring tracks recorded in Sweden in 1951 and released on the EmArcy label. The album was originally recorded for the Swedish label Metronome, and some cuts were also released on Prestige Records.

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Scott Yanow stating, "Between his Paris sessions of 1950 and 1951 for Vogue, trumpeter Roy Eldridge traveled to Sweden and recorded nine spirited selections for Metronome which were reissued on this EmArcy LP. None of Eldridge's sidemen (except for clarinetist Ove Lind who is just on two songs) gained much of a reputation outside of Sweden, but they fare well during these fairly basic performances which are based in swing but also influenced a little by early rhythm & blues".
