Modern Jazz Trumpets is an album released by Prestige Records in 1951 with music by four jazz trumpeters: Fats Navarro, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and Kenny Dorham. The album was released on the 10" LP format and includes the first recordings by Davis for Prestige.[1]

Cover art was a text layout similar to other early albums on Prestige. Later pressings used the same photo of Davis also used on his first three 10" LPs.
