Dexter Calling... is an album by American jazz saxophonist Dexter Gordon recorded in 1961 and released on the Blue Note label. "Soul Sister", "I Want More" and "Ernie's Tune" were written for the Los Angeles production of the play The Connection by Jack Gelber in 1960.

The Billboard Reviewer called the album "solid jazz wax" and noted that it featured "some fine blowing by the tenor saxist".

The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4 stars stating "Dexter Gordon's second recording for the Blue Note label is a solidly swinging affair, yet constantly full of surprises... The excellent band, solid musicianship, and memorable music on every track make this one of the more essential recordings of Gordon's career".
