Climax (October 1974) is a compilation album by The Ohio Players and the first of two albums compiled from tracks left over from previous sessions recorded for the Detroit-based Westbound label. The group was signed to Mercury by the time Climax hit stores, and the album features only five new songs (with the other three pulled from *previous albums). Their Mercury debut, Skin Tight, was released several months earlier.

Along with six originals, the album includes cover versions of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Proud Mary" and Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On", adding to the group's already growing repertoire.
