First Place is an album by the J. J. Johnson Quartet which was released on the Columbia label.

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "Bop is their thing, and Johnson's flawless lines on his trombone were never more in evidence than on this stupendous effort... Johnson's smaller ensemble dates have stood the test of time as perhaps his best ever -- which is debatable, considering all his fine work, but First Place is indisputably brilliant".

All compositions by J. J. Johnson except where noted.
