"Braggtown" is an album released by The Branford Marsalis Quartet in 2006.

The album, following the 2004 Grammy-nominated "Eternal", draws upon a world of inspirations, including John Coltrane, a 17th Century English composer, an American Indian Warrior and a Japanese horror film. Marsalis chose some of the new songs from the band's current repertoire, with an emphasis on what he describes as "that kind of high-energy music we've been playing in live performance."

This album was named after Braggtown, a neighborhood located in the northeastern corner of Durham, North Carolina, as Marsalis has been a resident of the Durham area for the past few years.

The cover of the album shows the four musicians in a locker room in the baseball stadium Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
