Without Her is a studio album by American singer Jack Jones released in late 1967 as his first release for American record label RCA Victor Records.
Without Her was the final of three albums that Jones released in 1967, with it released shortly after his easy listening hit single "Live for Life" from the United Artists motion picture Live For Life. The single reached a high position on the Billboard Easy Listening chart. It was issued by RCA Victor Records, a label which he had just started recording for after his move from Kapp Records. The album was produced by Ernie Altschuler and arranged by Marty Paich. The album featured covers of recent pop hits and other standards, as well as his own songs. Notably he offered interpretations of contemporary pop songs by Harry Nilsson, Burt Bacharach & Hal David, and Paul Simon.

Billboard believed "His emotional recital of Simon and Garfunkel's 'Homeward Bound' is the standout selection", and noted "But the rest of the material is also first-rate." Record World stated that "Jones' first album for RCA Victor is a sumptuous one with gorgeous readings of Nilsson's 'Without Her,' 'Live for Life,' etc." Cashbox magazine said that "Here's a smooth, easy-flowing package from romantic songster Jack Jones", noting that it "is sure to prove a fast moving item in the marketplace."
