Sugar is an album by jazz saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, his first recorded for the CTI Records label.

The All About Jazz review by David Rickert states “Seldom does a group of musicians click on all levels and rise into the stratosphere, but this is one such record, a relic from a time when jazz was going through growing pains but still spawning some interesting projects. Turrentine was one of the lucky few who made his crowning achievement during this time”.
