The Ultimate Experience is a 1992 compilation album of songs by American musician Jimi Hendrix. It includes 20 tracks spanning his career. The album was among the last to be supervised by interim producer Alan Douglas, before the Hendrix family regained control of his recording legacy. It has gone out-of-print and, in 1997, was replaced by the 20 track compilation Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix.

The Ultimate Experience was released in the United Kingdom in November 1992, and later on April 27, 1993, in the United States. The album reached No. 25 on the UK Albums Chart[4] and No. 72 on the Billboard 200.[5] It was certified as gold by the British Phonographic Industry,[6] 3× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America,[7] and 2× platinum by Music Canada.[8]
