Bobby Darin Sings Doctor Dolittle is an album by American singer Bobby Darin, released in 1967. It was arranged and conducted by Roger Kellaway. The album sold poorly, received little label promotion and was subsequently dropped from the label's catalog. This, in part, was to blame for Darin's separation from Atlantic and the beginning of his own label, Direction.[1]

Music critic JT Griffith wrote in his Allmusic review "Not an essential Darin album, even to crazed fans. The songs are solid but the material is (obviously) neither his most weighty nor his most fun... One of the few genuine missteps in Darin's career."[2]
