Jackson C. Frank is the 1965 self-titled debut album by Jackson C. Frank, released by Columbia (EMI) in December 1965. It was produced by Paul Simon, and both Al Stewart and Art Garfunkel attended the recording. Frank was apparently so nervous at the time that, in order to play and sing, he had to have screens around him. The album was recorded in less than three hours in London at CBS Studios.

In 1978, it was re-released as Jackson Frank Again by B&C Records, with a fresh cover sleeve, and an audio CD was released by Castle Music on November 19, 2001.
