Cool Blues is a live album by American jazz organist Jimmy Smith featuring performances recorded at Small's Paradise in New York City in 1958 but not released on the Blue Note label until 1978. The album was rereleased on CD with three bonus tracks recorded at the same performance.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars stating "The repertoire is filled with blues and bop standards, and the soloing is at a consistently high and hard-swinging level. Jimmy Smith fans will be pleased".
