Jumpin' Punkins is an album by Cecil Taylor recorded for the Candid label in January 1961 but not issued in the States until 1987.

The album features two small group performances by Taylor with Buell Neidlinger, Denis Charles and Archie Shepp, and two performances by a larger group including Billy Higgins, Clark Terry, Roswell Rudd, Steve Lacy and Charles Davis.

Additional recordings from these sessions were released on New York City R&B in 1971 and Cell Walk for Celeste in 1988.

In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "The two most intriguing performances are versions of Mercer Ellington's 'Jumpin' Punkins' and 'Things Ain't What They Used to Be' which feature the avant-garde pianist with trumpeter Clark Terry, trombonist Roswell Rudd, soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy, baritonist Charles Davis, tenor Archie Shepp, bassist Buell Neidlinger, and drummer Billy Higgins.

and 'I Forgot' feature Taylor with Neidlinger, drummer Dennis Charles, and (on the latter song) the young Archie Shepp.
