Shifting Gears is a studio album by Nancy Sinatra, released on Sinatra's own Boots Enterprises label in 2013.

The album is a collection of previously unissued recordings from her vaults featuring her renditions of "big" ballads with sources from Broadway of the 1920s to pop hits of the 1970s.[1][2] Sinatra has said that she sequenced the songs to tell the story of a love affair.[3]
