Jazz Erotica was a 1957 jazz album by American tenor saxophone player Richie Kamuca. It was rereleased in 1959, sans the "quite revealing painting of a nude woman on the cover", under the "more conventional title" West Coast Jazz in Hifi.

Ken Dryden, writing for AllMusic, rates the album four out of five stars, and notes that one should expect to pay "a premium price" for it. Tim Neely's Goldmine Jazz Album Price Guide (2011) suggests $200 for a near-mint copy.
