Rockin' with Wanda is a compilation album by country music and rockabilly singer Wanda Jackson. It was released in 1960 by Capitol Records (catalog no. T-1384). The album cover calls it "a collection of great country songs in the rhythmic singing style of Wanda Jackson."[1]

AllMusic gave the album a rating of four-and-a-half stars.[2] Reviewer Richie Unterberger called it "absolutely the best collection of Wanda Jackson's rockabilly recordings" and "a leading candidate for the best female rock & roll album of the 1950s."[2]
