Jorkens Has a Large Whiskey is a collection of fantasy short stories, narrated by Mr. Joseph Jorkens, by writer Lord Dunsany. It was first published in London by Putnam in September, 1940. It was the third collection of Dunsany's Jorkens tales to be published. It has also been issued in combination with the fourth book, The Fourth Book of Jorkens, in the omnibus edition The Collected Jorkens, Volume Two, published by Night Shade Books in 2004.

As noted by S. T. Joshi and many book dealers, this volume was and remains very scarce.

The book collects twenty-six short pieces by Dunsany.
