Roy David Eldridge, soprannominato Little Jazz (Pittsburgh, 30 gennaio 1911 – Valley Stream, 26 febbraio 1989), è stato un trombettista jazz statunitense, legato allo stile swing. Il suo uso sofisticato dell'armonia, che includeva l'uso di sostituzioni tritonali (flat fifth substitution), lo portò ad essere considerato un trait-de-union fra l'epoca di Louis Armstrong e l'epoca del bebop. Il potenziale ritmico che imponeva alle sue band fu un distintivo dell'epoca dello swing, al bivio fra il jazz degli albori ed il jazz moderno. Soprannominato Little Jazz, Eldridge, prima di intraprendere la carriera solista, suonò nelle orchestre di Fletcher Henderson, Gene Krupa ed Artie Shaw oltre che con le orchestre di Benny Goodman e Count Basie, diventando poi co-direttore della band formata con Coleman Hawkins.
