Toni Frissell: Photographs 1933–1967 is a 1994 publication that compiles a selection of photographs by American photographer Toni Frissell, covering the period from 1933 to 1967 and showcasing the breadth of her career in fashion, portraiture, and documentary photography. A collection of the work of the photojournalist who revolutionized fashion photography and was the first female staff photographer for Sports Illustrated

The book, published by André Deutsch in the United Kingdom and by Doubleday in the United States, both in association with the Library of Congress, features an introduction by author George Plimpton and a foreword by Sidney Frissell Stafford, Toni Frissell's daughter, who contributed to the project. Many of the images included draw from the collections of the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, reflecting Frissell's donation of her archive.

The volume serves as a retrospective of Frissell's professional output, highlighting her pioneering role as one of the few prominent female photographers in mid-20th-century America, with work that appeared in major publications such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. It captures her transition from fashion and society portraiture in the 1930s to wartime documentation and social commentary in later decades, including notable series on African American life and women's contributions during World War II.] This collection remains a key reference for understanding Frissell's legacy in American photography, emphasizing her innovative approach to composition and her ability to blend commercial and artistic elements across three decades.
