Cosmopolite is an album by American jazz saxophonist Benny Carter recorded at three sessions between 1952 and 1954 and released on the Norgran label. The album features tracks that were initial released on the 10 inch LP The Urbane Mr. Carter.
Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "This long out-of-print LP from the 1950s showcases altoist Benny Carter in two very different settings. Side one finds him interpreting ballads in front of a string section while the flip side matches Carter with the Oscar Peterson Trio and drummer J.C. Heard. It is a credit to his versatility and talents that Benny Carter plays quite well in both formats".
