Super Strings is an album by bassist Ron Carter which was recorded in 1981 and released on the Milestone label.

The AllMusic review by Alex Henderson called it an "enjoyable (if less than essential) LP" stating "Jazz-with-strings projects are often examples of mood music or easy listening; this LP, however, is more diverse than that". On All About Jazz, Derek Taylor said "Hiring on an entire string orchestra Carter takes a stab at placing his virtuosity in front of a lushly orchestrated backdrop and ends up with bromidic mood music ... Carter's career ranks among the most prolific in jazz, and as such the overproduction and narcissism that spoil this a date make it one best left a forgotten entry".

All compositions by Ron Carter except where noted.
