King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown is a dub studio album by Augustus Pablo and King Tubby, released in 1976. It features Carlton Barrett on drums, Robbie Shakespeare and Aston Barrett on bass guitar, and Earl "Chinna" Smith on guitar. Pablo produced the album and played melodica, piano, organ and clavinet. The album was recorded at Randy's in Kingston, Jamaica. A distinctly different mix of the title song with vocals and dub, titled "Baby I Love You So", can be found on the Jacob Miller and Augustus Pablo 1975 album, Who Say Jah No Dread.

The album has been released on several different labels, often with slightly different artworks and track lists.

The title song was released as a 45 rpm single in 1974 on the Mango label (MS-2001), with Baby I Love You So as the b-side.

The album was listed in the 1999 book The Rough Guide: Reggae: 100 Essential CDs.
