Sleep Warm is an album recorded by Dean Martin for Capitol Records in three sessions between October 13, 1958 and October 15, 1958 with arrangements by Pete King and orchestra conducted by Frank Sinatra. Described in the liner notes as a "beguiling set of lullabies for moderns," the selections follow a "bedtime" concept with several of the song titles containing the words "dream" and/or "sleep."

The completed album was released March 2, 1959. In 1965 Capitol Records re-released an 11-track version of Sleep Warm under the title Dean Martin Sings/Sinatra Conducts.
