Mother's Blue Velvet Shoes is an album by American jazz saxophonist Ernest Dawkins' New Horizons Ensemble, which was recorded live at Chicago's Velvet Lounge in 1997 and released on his own Dawk label.

The Down Beat review by Aaron Cohen states "What Dawkins shares with other notable Chicago improvisers is a dexterity on a number of reeds, as well as a skill in crafting compositions that are ideal for bands of like-minded navigators.
