Stop and Listen is the second album by American jazz organist Baby Face Willette featuring performances recorded and released on the Blue Note label in 1961.

The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 4½ stars and stated “With Blue Note’s extraordinary stable of talent, it’s a shame that Willette never led another session for the label, which makes Stop and Listen that much more essential for soul-jazz fans”.
