Johnny Griffin (also referred to as J. G., Tenor and Johnny Griffin Quartet) is an album by American jazz saxophonist Johnny Griffin featuring tracks recorded in 1956 and released on the Argo label in 1958. The album features the first recordings made under Griffin's leadership but was not released until 1958 by which time his first Blue Note album Introducing Johnny Griffin (1956) had been released and he had attracted attention as a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars calling it "a necessary addition to any shelf that pays Johnny Griffin homage".
