Hobo Flats is an album by American jazz organist Jimmy Smith arranged by Oliver Nelson.

Billboard magazine included Hobo Flats in its 'Pop Spotlight' for the week of 27 April 1963.

The Allmusic review by Steve Leggett awarded the album 3½ stars stating that "Smith bubbles and bounces through all of it at the B-3 while Nelson proceeds to fill every available corner with huge, sweeping orchestral washes and crescendos.

The clear highlight, though, is the lead and title track, "Hobo Flats," which moves at a languid but wonderfully funky pace and establishes a groove as wide as the Mississippi River.

Smith arguably was at his best in small combos, and at times he gets overwhelmed here by the big cinematic arrangements, but there's plenty to like with this set, even if it's a bit on the atypical side for Smith.
