The Tenor Giants Featuring Oscar Peterson is a 1975 (see 1975 in music) live album by the tenor saxophonists Zoot Sims and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, featuring the pianist Oscar Peterson.

Bill Holland, writing for Billboard, said "[w]alk up to a friend who likes...jazz", listed the personnel, then said "get ready for a major smile", and mentioned that "Davis plays Coleman Hawkins to Sims' Lester Young".

Ken Dryden's AllMusic review says that the album "was an inspired idea, because each of the two tenor saxophonists approach the instrument differently...highly recommended." He calls the rhythm section "a great one...providing plenty of fuel for the featured soloists."
