The Complete 1957 Riverside Recordings is a 1957 album by Thelonious Monk.

Although the album was recorded in 1957, it was only recently in mid 2006 owing to its recent discovery, along with Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall, buried in a long-forgotten area of the Library of Congress. However, these recordings are an almost complete anthology of the work of Monk and Coltrane, who only recorded together during 1957. Their only other albums are the self-titled "Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane", a reduced edition of these recordings, and the aforementioned 'Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall'.
