The Complete Braxton (also released as The Complete Braxton 1971) is an album by American jazz saxophonist and composer Anthony Braxton recorded in 1971 and released on the Freedom label.[1][2][3][4] It features a variety of musicians, including trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, pianist Chick Corea, bassist Dave Holland, drummer Barry Altschul, and the London Tuba Ensemble.

The album was recorded while Braxton was in London with Circle.[5] According to Braxton, the album's title was assigned by Alan Bates, producer and founder of Freedom Records. Braxton commented: "I would never call my work 'The Complete Braxton' or any of this nonsense."[6]
