Thoroughly Modern Millie is the original soundtrack of the 1967 musical comedy film of the same name, directed by George Roy Hill and produced by Ross Hunter for Universal Pictures. The soundtrack, released by Decca Records in February 1967, blends 1920s jazz standards with new compositions to capture the spirit of the film's Roaring Twenties setting. Featuring Julie Andrews in her return to recording, alongside Carol Channing and Mary Tyler Moore, the album includes tracks like "Thoroughly Modern Millie", "Jimmy", and Channing’s renditions of "Jazz Baby" and "Do It Again" .

Despite criticism for its short runtime and repeated medleys, the soundtrack was praised for its nostalgic energy, vibrant arrangements by André Previn, and contributions from Sammy Cahn and James Van Heusen.

Commercially, the album reached no. 16 on the Billboard 200, earning gold certification within a month, and achieving Top 10 in the UK.
