Complete Communion is a 1966 album by American jazz composer Don Cherry, his first release on Blue Note Records.

Each side of the original LP were suites, side-long compositions^[1] working with several themes. Critics have proposed this recording as an important innovation in the free jazz of the time, introducing "an alternative both to athematic improvising and to monothematic pieces".^[3]
