Rock 'n' Roll Million Sellers is a studio album recorded by American entertainer Connie Francis. It was issued on the Contour label (2870 383) as Connie Francis Sings the Million Sellers.

The album is a tribute to the then-current rock 'n' roll-stars of the era, such as Elvis Presley and Fats Domino. The album's only original recording was "Lipstick on Your Collar", which became a number 7 hit for Francis on the US pop chart in 1959.
