Samba '68 is a 1968 album by Marcos Valle, arranged by Eumir Deodato.

Billboard magazine reviewed the album in their March 23, 1968 issue and wrote that the album was a "topnotch album of [Valle's] contemporary samba music".

John Bush reviewed the reissue of the album for Allmusic and wrote that the album was "a vibrant set of Brazilian pop, indebted to bossa nova and samba but undeniably Americanized for a domestic audience. The result is a joyous album throughout that wears its dated sound quite well". Bush also described the vocal harmonies of Anamaria Valle as providing a "beautiful counterpoint" to Valle's voice and concluded that the album was "one of the best Brazilian crossovers of the 1960s".
