Jim Cullum Jr. (born September 20, 1941 in San Antonio, Texas) is an American jazz cornetist known for his contributions to Dixieland jazz.

Cullum's father was Jim Cullum Sr., a clarinetist who led the Happy Jazz Band until his death in 1973. Cullum has led the Jim Cullum Jazz Band as a successor group. His bandmates have included Allan Vaché, Brian Ogilvie, Mike Pittsley, Don Mopsick, Evan Christopher, Kenny Rupp, Howard Elkins, and John Sheridan.

With his father, Cullum established the San Antonio jazz club The Landing in 1963.[1] He has broadcast performances from the club on the Public Radio International series Riverwalk Jazz since 1989. Cullum has performed at Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, and Austin City Limits.[2] He has recorded for Jazzology Records, Columbia Records (1985's Porgy & Bess), Audiophile, Stomp Off, and his own Riverwalk.

From 1993 until 2005, Cullum and his band were on the faculty of the Stanford Jazz Workshop at Stanford University in California.[3] In 2011, Stanford University Libraries acquired Cullum's "Riverwalk Jazz" archives, comprising over 400 radio show programs. In January 2013, Stanford's Archive of Recorded Sound began streaming the collection of recordings.
