James Carroll Booker III (17. desember 1939–8. november 1983) var ein rhythm and blues-klaverspelar frå New Orleans. Den unike stilen hans kombinerte rhythm and blues og jazz. Musikaren Dr. John skildra Booker som «den beste svarte, homofile, einauga, junkie-pianist-geniet frå New Orleans.»[2] Den fargerike personlegdomen hans gjorde at han vart kalla «The Black Liberace».[3]
