Dance Me This is a studio album by Frank Zappa. It was released posthumously on June 21, 2015, and was one of the last projects Zappa completed before his death, along with The Rage & The Fury: The Music Of Edgard Varèse, Trance-Fusion, and Civilization Phaze III.

Liner notes by Todd Yvega explain that Zappa built a cohesive album from a mix of old and new material, including some spontaneity and incidental ideas. In February 1993, a Matt Groening birthday party at the Zappa family home brought in Tuva throat singers, whose voices appear on several tracks. Dweezil set up his guitar, and Frank overdubbed on the piece being tracked that day; it is believed to be the last time he played guitar.

Before his death, Zappa described Dance Me This as a Synclavier album designed for use by modern dance groups. All tracks are written by Frank Zappa, except where noted.
