"The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie" is the 1962 debut album by Stevie Wonder (then billed as "Little" Stevie Wonder") on the Tamla (Motown) label.

The LP showcases the twelve-year-old Wonder's talents as a singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist. Wonder's mentors Clarence Paul and Henry Cosby wrote and produced the material on "The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie Wonder", with young Wonder himself also co-writing two of the compositions. The original studio version of "Fingertips" is included on the album; a live version would become Wonder's first hit single.
