Wilbur James Cobb (January 20, 1929 – May 24, 2020) was an American jazz drummer. He was part of Miles Davis's First Great Sextet. At the time of his death, he had been the band's last surviving member for nearly thirty years.

Known from an early age as an accomplished accompanist, Jimmy has worked extensively with a wide range of artists, including: Dinah Washington, Cannonball Adderley, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Stan Getz, Wes Montgomery, Miles Davis, Kenny Burrell, Sonny Stitt, Nat Adderley, Hank Jones, Ron Carter, and others.

His most famous work is on Miles Davis' Kind of Blue (1959), considered by many to be the quintessential jazz record. Cobb was the last surviving player from that historic session. He also played on other famous Davis albums, including Sketches of Spain, Someday My Prince Will Come, Live at Carnegie Hall, Live at the Blackhawk, and Porgy and Bess.
