Moment to Moment is a studio album by trumpeter Roy Hargrove, his only featuring string orchestra arrangements, recorded on October 4–10, 1999, and released the following year by Verve Records.

Hargrove had a long-held desire to record an album with strings, having been familiar with the string albums of singer Shirley Horn, trumpeter Clifford Brown (Clifford Brown with Strings, 1955), and vibraphonist Milt Jackson; with the right arrangers, Hargrove believed that the album could be beautiful and memorable enough to reach audiences outside of only jazz listeners.

In 2001, Hargrove was selected as a resident artist by the Montreal International Jazz Festival, and on July 7 of the same year, he performed the album with the I Musici de Montréal Chamber Orchestra.
