The Ultimate Experience is a 1993 compilation album of songs by famous songwriter and guitarist Jimi Hendrix. It features 20 of his greatest hits with the Experience, including live renditions of "The Star Spangled Banner" and "Wild Thing". It was released with MCA Records. All songs were recorded between October 23, 1966 and July 23, 1970.

The "Experience" part of the title is most likely derived either from Hendrix's studio album, Are You Experienced?, from his band's name The Jimi Hendrix Experience, or both.
