For Teenagers Only is an album by American singer Bobby Darin, released in 1960. After Darin's success in the adult pop market, the release of the album was an attempt to regain his youthful Rock & Roll audience. Nearly all of the material had been previously recorded in 1958. The album did not chart on the Billboard 200, but reached #38 on the Cashbox mono chart.[1]

In his Allmusic review, critic John Bush called the album "a very strange beast, with a few of the bluesy uptempo numbers that Darin had done so well with during the late '50s... Teenagers weren't biting, however, and the LP languished without even a whimper on the charts."[1]
