"Captain Jack" is a song by Billy Joel featured on his 1973 album Piano Man as its closing track with a live version on his 1981 album Songs in the Attic.

His performance of the song on April 15, 1972 during a live radio concert at Sigma Studios on WMMR in Philadelphia—and the subsequent airplay this live version received—brought him to the attention of major record labels, including Columbia. He signed a recording contract with Columbia in 1973.
