Bobby McFerrin (lahir 11 Maret 1950) adalah seorang vokalis jazz Amerika Serikat. Dia dikenal karena teknik vokalnya, seperti bernyanyi dengan lancar tetapi dengan lompatan yang cepat dan cukup banyak — misalnya, mempertahankan melodi sambil juga dengan cepat berganti-ganti dengan arpeggio dan harmoni — juga lagu-lagu scat, bernyanyi nada polifonik, dan perkusi vokal improvisasi.
Ia dikenal luas karena tampil dan merekam secara teratur sebagai artis vokal solo yang tidak ditemani. Dia sering berkolaborasi dengan artis lain baik dari jazz dan adegan klasik.
