Jack Brabham is a cassette tape by Australian folk rock group the Triffids. This tape was only sold at the group's Perth shows on 19 and 20 December 1988 and included in the sleeve notes - "ninety minutes of rare (and under cooked) snippets of tunes allegedly attributed to the Triffids. Beware of wildly fluctuating recording and performing quality". It is extremely rare with only 50 original copies being released.

In 2010 the group issued a compilation box set, Come Ride with Me... Wide Open Road – The Deluxe Edition of 10× CDs with Disc 9 subtitled Jack Brabham 2010 Volume 1 and Disc 10 as Jack Brabham 2010 Volume 2.^[1]
