The Sound of Music by Pizzicato Five is a compilation album by Japanese pop band Pizzicato Five. The album was released in the United States on October 31, 1995 by Matador Records, serving as the band's second full-length, and third overall, American release under the label. Following Made in USA, The Sound of Music by Pizzicato Five is Matador's second compilation of Pizzicato Five's previously released material.

The track selection emphasizes the band's albums Bossa Nova 2001 and Overdose, while what then was their most recent album Romantique 96 is represented by one track, a cover of Plastics' "Good". The title The Sound of Music and the front cover slogan "music is organised by sound" are taken from the track "The Sound of Music" on Romantique 96, though the song itself does not appear.

The double vinyl edition has a slightly rearranged track order and contains longer versions of "Rock n' Roll", "Fortune Cookie" and "Good!".
