Monty Python Sings is a 1989 album of comedy songs written by the Monty Python team. It compiles popular tracks from their previous albums and films, as well as some new tracks.

"Oliver Cromwell" and a new recording of "I've Got Two Legs", which had previously only been released as part of live recordings, were recorded during sessions for Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album. The album also has complete versions of "Medical Love Song" and "Henry Kissinger", which each had a verse cut out on the aforementioned album. The album uses the few new mixes from The Final Rip Off, as well as a remix of the single version of "The Lumberjack Song". Three songs from the film Monty Python's The Meaning of Life – "Accountancy Shanty", "Every Sperm Is Sacred" and "Christmas in Heaven" – appear here in slightly different edits

The album was released in memory of Graham Chapman, who had died the year earlier that year.

In June 2014, the album was re-released as Monty Python Sings (Again) on CD and as a digital download, expanded with six additional recordings – three previously unreleased archive recordings and three new recordings from Eric Idle. A deluxe edition in both formats also includes the 1970 Monty Python's Flying Circus album.
