"The Essential Jefferson Airplane" is a compilation of music from the San Francisco rock band Jefferson Airplane spanning its entire career, excluding the brief reunion in 1989.

It follows their development, in more-or-less chronological order, from their beginnings in folk-rock, through psychedelia, to conventional rock genres.
