Buttercorn Lady is a live album by drummer Art Blakey's New Jazz Messengers recorded at The Lighthouse in 1966 and originally released on the Limelight label. It is notable for being the first commercial recording featuring Keith Jarrett, who had joined Blakey's band a few months earlier.

Scott Yanow of Allmusic stated, "this particular version of The Jazz Messengers only had the opportunity to record this one excellent live LP (which is currently out of print) but proved to be a worthy successor to their more acclaimed predecessors".

All compositions by Chuck Mangione except where noted.
