Day by Day with Cilla is the title of Cilla Black's seventh solo studio album released in 1973 by Parlophone Records. The album marked the end of a significant era in Black's recording career as it was her last project to be produced by George Martin, who had worked on all of her recordings since her 1963 debut. It was also Black's final record released on the Parlophone Records label.

Music arranger on three of the songs, Thank Heavens I've Got You, I've Stiill Got My Heart Joe, and I Hate Sunday, was Chris Gunning. Alan Hawkshaw, later composer of the music for Channel 4's Countdown, played piano for these songs. Gunning described working on these songs as some of the most enjoyable work he had ever done and singled out Thank Heavens I've Got You as his favourite of the tracks he worked on.
This album was also Black's first to be produced under the guise of her own production company Cilla Black Limited.
