Lawrence "Booker T." Laury (September 2, 1914 – September 23, 1995) was an American boogie-woogie, blues, gospel and jazz pianist and singer. Laury worked with Memphis Slim and Mose Vinson but did not record his debut album until he was in his late sixties. He appeared in two films; Great Balls of Fire!, the biopic about Jerry Lee Lewis' early career, and the documentary Deep Blues: A Musical Pilgrimage to the Crossroads, in which musicologist, writer and blues producer Robert Palmer, along with Dave Stewart from the band Eurythmics, interview and play with blues musicians from Memphis, Tennessee and the North Hill Country area of Mississippi.

(en) Booker T. Laury (2 de septiembre de 1914 – 23 de septiembre de 1995) fue un pianista y cantante de blues estadounidense. Su estilo era el barrelhouse, que se tocaba en casas muy humildes conformadas por barriles que sostenían listones de madera. El único instrumento de esos salones era el piano, y el cantante debía esforzar mucho la voz para poder ser escuchado en medio de tanto bullicio. La calle Beale, en Memphis, sede de muchos clubs nocturnos y bares temáticos, era el escenario natural del desempeño de Booker, quien, por un accidente, perdió el dedo meñique de su mano izquierda, lo que no le impidió ser un virtuoso del piano y un símbolo del blues de dicha ciudad.
