The Complete Quartets With Sonny Clark is a 1997 compilation album by jazz guitarist Grant Green, collecting together all the tracks from a series of albums he recorded with pianist Sonny Clark in 1961 and '62.

The original material was shelved until after Clark's death in 1963 and Grant's death in 1979, and was first issued only in Japan as the albums Nigeria, Oleo and Gooden's Corner. The collection also includes one additional tune, "Nancy (With the Laughing Face)", and alternative takes of "Airegin" and "Oleo", all recorded during the same sessions.

It is not to be confused with a 1990 collection from Mosaic Records, The Complete Blue Note Recordings Of Grant Green With Sonny Clark,[3] which features all the quartet sessions plus the quintet session that became the 1985 Born to Be Blue album.
