Up Close and Personal is the ninth studio album (tenth included the co-credit on Future Road) by Australian recording artist Judith Durham. The album was released in Australia in May 2009.

In July 2006, Durham was asked to sing a short set of spiritual songs a cappella for a gathering in Sydney. Durham said; "I had certainly never thought of singing 'a cappella' in a large auditorium before. The purity of the simple presentation seemed to engender a very peaceful environment and for me the lyrics became more like prayers." Following this experience, Durham spent two years recording an a cappella album, focussing on a repertoire of spiritually focussed material.

The album was launched with a one-off concert at the Melbourne Recital Centre on 23 May 2009.

The album was re-released in November 2016 under the title An A Cappella Experience with a bonus DVD of the recital which had been recorded.
