39 Steps is an album by the John Abercrombie Quartet recorded in April 2013 and released on ECM later that year.

The quartet features rhythm section Marc Copland, Drew Gress, and Joey Baron.

[1] The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states, "Abercrombie's 39 Steps offers the sound of a veteran quartet playing at the height of its individual members' intuitive and collective abilities.

"[2] On All About Jazz Andrew Luhn said: Fans of Abercrombie's playing won't be disappointed by this album and neither will fans of the ECM record label.
