Simply Sweets is a jazz album by trumpeter Harry “Sweets” Edison and tenor saxophonist Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis. It was recorded on September 22, 1977, at Group IV Recording Studios in Hollywood, California, and released in 1978 on the Pablo label. The album lasts 45 minutes and 31 seconds and was produced by Norman Granz. It lies in Edison’s discography after Edison's Lights (1976) and before Just Friends (1980), and in Davis’s chronology after 4 – Montreux ’77 (1977) and before The Heavy Hitter (1979).

The music features lively solos from Edison and Davis, with pianist Dolo Coker adding bright comping. Some critics felt the rhythm section was fairly basic, while others praised the strong playing of the two leaders. All compositions are by Edison unless noted otherwise.
