Digital Works is an album by American jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal featuring performances digitally recorded in 1985 and released on the Atlantic label.^[2]

Scott Yanow of Allmusic calls the album, "Good music overall, but not essential."^[1] However, Bob Karlovits of The Pittsburgh Press wrote positively of the album upon its release: "Jamal is one of those few musicians who can take a shopworn tune and find an element that no one else has," Karlovits stated. He added that "in his hands, these songs sparkle," calling Digital Works "top notch in all ways."^[3]
