Sweet & Sour Tears is a 1964 album by Ray Charles. It is a concept album featuring songs with titles or lyrics referring to crying. In 1997, Rhino Records reissued the album on compact disc with seven bonus tracks from his early career (1956–1971) that added to the "crying" theme.

Robert Christgau hailed the Rhino reissue as the best of the label's reissue program for Charles' ABC albums, saying both producer Sid Feller and the bonus tracks were suited for the original album's crying theme.[2]
