Hampton Hawes Trio (subtitled Vol. 1) is the debut album by pianist Hampton Hawes recorded in 1955 and released on the Contemporary label.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "In addition to three of his basic originals, Hawes performs fresh and swinging versions of seven standards, making such overplayed tunes such as "I Got Rhythm," "What Is This Thing Called Love?," and "All the Things You Are" really come alive. A gem, the first of many classic Hawes dates on Contemporary".
