Our Man in Paris is a 1963 jazz album by saxophonist Dexter Gordon. The album's title refers to the fact that Gordon was a resident of Paris at the time of the recording, as were pianist Bud Powell and drummer Kenny Clarke (the bassist, Pierre Michelot, was a Parisian). Gordon, Clarke, and Michelot had played together in 1959 in a trio called the Three Bosses.
