Judy Garland Souvenir Album (also known as Judy Garland Third Souvenir Album) is the third compilation album by Judy Garland, released in 1949 by Decca Records.
According to the retrospective AllMusic review, Decca issued this album wanting to take advantage of the new LP format. Since by that time Garland's contract with the record label was moot, the album was made by taking the Judy Garland Second Souvenir Album from 1943, excluding two tracks – "For Me and My Gal" and "When You Wore a Tulip" – and instead adding two newer tracks – the two sides of the singer's 1945 single "This Heart of Mine" / "Love" – at the end.
Billboard gave the album a score of 65 out of 100, indicating a satisfactory reception. According to the magazine the album features a collection of eight songs, some of which were previously released as singles. However, the review notes a lack of enthusiasm and energy in Garland's vocal delivery, with certain phrases lacking drive and expressiveness.
