Jazz Giant is an album by saxophonist Benny Carter recorded in 1957 and 1958 and released on the Contemporary label.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow called it a "particularly strong septet session" and stated: "This timeless music is beyond the simple categories of 'swing' or 'bop' and should just be called 'classic.'"
