Born to Be Blue is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green featuring performances recorded in 1962 but not released until 1985 on the Blue Note label.

[1] Green is accompanied by tenor saxophonist Ike Quebec, pianist Sonny Clark, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes.

The Allmusic review by Alex Henderson awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "Although Grant Green provided his share of groove-oriented soul-jazz and modal post-bop, his roots were hard bop, and it is in a bop-oriented setting that the guitarist excels on Born to Be Blue".
