  Preachin' is an album by saxophonist Gene Ammons recorded in 1962 and released on the Prestige label.
  
  ## Reception
  
  The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "the great tenor performs 11 religious hymns that are straight from the church... this little-known album is a rather touching and emotional outing, and is quite unique".
