Decca Presents Marlene Dietrich (later reissued as Marlene Dietrich Souvenir Album) is the debut album by singer and actress Marlene Dietrich, released in 1940 by Decca Records as part of their Decca Personality Series of box sets.

The album featured songs from her films and personal favorites, recorded in Los Angeles under conductor Victor Young. Originally issued as three 78 RPM singles, it was later reissued with additional tracks, including "Lili Marleen".

Critics at the time noted Dietrich's distinctive, smoky delivery, emphasizing how her understated yet expressive vocals suited the album's intimate mood. Some highlighted the appeal of hearing her perform signature songs like "Falling in Love Again" in a recorded format.
