Times Square is an album by vibraphonist Gary Burton recorded in January 1978 and released on ECM November later that year. The quartet features rhythm section Steve Swallow and Roy Haynes, and trumpeter Tiger Okoshi.

AllMusic awarded the album four stars, noting that especially Tiger Okoshi's untypical prominent role on the trumpet results in a "fine outing".^[4]
