Blue Spring is a 1959 album by jazz trumpeter Kenny Dorham and saxophonist Cannonball Adderley released on the Riverside label, featuring performances by Dorham and Adderley with Dave Amram, Cecil Payne, Cedar Walton, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones or Jimmy Cobb.

The Allmusic review by Stephen Cook awarded the album 4 stars and states: "listeners new to the work of Kenny Dorham should definitely consider this somewhat overlooked Riverside date from 1959. The set features plenty of Dorham's varied and sophisticated horn work and four of his top-drawer originals.... Essential listening for Dorham fans."The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars stating "Dorham enjoyed a brief resurgence towards the end of the '50s".
