  The Bill Evans Album is an album by the jazz pianist Bill Evans, released in 1971. It is his first album to feature all compositions written (or co-written), arranged and performed by Evans.
  
  At the Grammy Awards of 1972, The Bill Evans Album won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo and the Best Jazz Performance by a Group awards.
  
  The Bill Evans Memorial Library states it is the first recording in which Evans used a Fender Rhodes piano.
  
  The title of the song "Re: Person I Knew" (recorded first on an earlier record in 1962, Moon Beams) is an anagram of the name of Evans' longtime producer, Orrin Keepnews.
  
  The cover image is based on a photograph taken by music photographer Don Hunstein.
  
  The Bill Evans Album was reissued with three bonus alternative tracks by Sony in 2005.
