Miles Davis Quintet at Peacock Alley is an unauthorized bootleg album by jazz musician Miles Davis. It was released by Soulard Intertainment Co. in 1997.^[1] The album consists of a two-part broadcast from the Peacock Alley jazz in St. Louis, Missouri.

Davis performed at the Peacock in July 1956 and February 1957.^[2][3] The sessions were hosted by Spider Burks, St. Louis' leading disc jockey and jazz disciple,"^[4] during an engagement Davis had at the Peacock Alley on February 15-23, 1957.^[5]
