Nina Simone with Strings is an album by Nina Simone. After her contract with Colpix Records had expired, the label took unissued recordings by Simone and sweetened them with a string ensemble. The album was released after the singer had left the label.

In the UK, the album's version of "I Loves You Porgy" was used in television commercials in 1997 by the mobile telephone operator Orange.
