"Tom Cat" is an album by Lee Morgan recorded in 1964, though not released until 1981.

While somewhat forgotten compared to such acclaimed favourites from Morgan's catalogue as"The Sidewinder" and "Cornbread", it is notable for featuring a vertiable who's who of Blue Note recording artists such as Art Blakey, Jackie McLean and Curtis Fuller. It was reissued on February 21, 2006 as part of Blue Note's RVG series.
