Surround Yourself with Cilla — четвёртый студийный альбом британской певицы Силлы Блэк, выпущенный 23 мая 1969 года на лейбле Parlophone Records. Это был первый альбом Силлы, записанный и выпущенный исключительно в стерео-формате, а также первый её альбом, не попавший в британский хит-парад. Заголовок альбома был вдохновлён заглавным синглом «Surround Yourself with Sorrow», который ранее достиг третьей позиции в хит-параде UK Singles Chart[1]. Для латиноамериканской аудитории была записана версия этой песни на итальянском языке — «Quando Si Spezza Un Grande Amore», текст к которой был написан Могалом.
