A Christmas Treasure (official title with subtitle: A Christmas Treasure: Julie Andrews with the Orchestra, Harpsichord & Arrangements of André Previn) is the sixth studio album and first Christmas album by English singer and actress Julie Andrews. It was released in 1967 by RCA Victor and features the participation of André Previn's orchestra. Music on the album is made up of British, Welsh, Scottish and Irish Christmas songs. Initially released in collaboration with Firestone, the album was later reissued by RCA as part of a larger holiday campaign, gaining visibility in both the United States and international markets.

The album received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Andrews' vocal performance and the orchestral arrangements by André Previn. Reviews highlighted the balance between familiar carols and lesser-known selections, as well as the formal and cinematic tone of the production. In promotional materials and press coverage, Andrews' association with successful films like The Sound of Music was often emphasized to boost visibility. Commercially, the album performed well during the holiday season, charting on Billboard’s Christmas LPs list and appearing among RCA’s top-selling releases of the year in several markets, including Australia.
