Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson is a studio album by American jazz saxophonist Ben Webster backed by the Oscar Peterson Trio, featuring rhythm section Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen, recorded on November 6, 1959 and released on Verve the following year.
Writing for AllMusic, critic Stephen Cook wrote "Another fine Webster release on Verve that sees the tenor great once again backed by the deluxe Oscar Peterson Trio.... To reassure Peterson fans worried about scant solo time for their hero, the pianist lays down a healthy number of extended runs, unobtrusively shadowing Webster's vaporous tone and supple phrasing along the way. Not only a definite first-disc choice for Webster newcomers, but one of the jazz legend's all-time great records."
