Sweet Sixteen is the fifteenth studio album by American country music singer Reba McEntire, released on May 1, 1989 by MCA Records. Four singles from the album entered the Billboard country charts: the number one hit "Cathy's Clown" (a cover version of The Everly Brothers' song), top 5 hit "Walk On", and the top ten hits "'Til Love Comes Again" and "Little Girl". Sweet Sixteen was her penultimate album with record producer Jimmy Bowen. Reba Live would be her last.

The album's title derives from its being McEntire's sixteenth album, counting compilation and Christmas albums.
