There Is a Time is the third studio album by American singer and actress Liza Minnelli. The release took place under the label of Capitol Records in November 1966, being her last one to be released by the record company.

The recordings took place at Capitol's studio in New York from April to May 2, 1966. The production is by Marvin Holtzman, and the arrangements and conducting are by Ray Ellis.

The album is considered as "Minnelli's French album" since the tracklist includes, for the most part, songs known to be sung by French artists such as Charles Aznavour, Michel Legrand, and Jacques Brel. Furthermore, the repertoire consists of English versions of popular French songs.

On November 5, 1966, the Billboard magazine included it in the list of releases for that month. As a form of promotion, a single was sent to the radios. It included the songs "I Who Have Nothing" and "Middle Of The Street," with the first song originally being recorded in Italian.

In 1967, the Hi-Fi/Stereo Review magazine included it in their list of "Best Album of the Year," which featured the best albums of 1966 as chosen by the magazine's music critics.

Despite never being released individually in the CD format, all eleven tracks in their entirety (and in the original order) appeared on two compilations released by Capitol Records, namely: in 2006, on The Complete Capitol Collection that adopts the original cover of Liza! Liza!; and in 2009, on the compilation Finest.
