Is is the third studio album by Chick Corea, recorded over three days in May of 1969 and released on Solid State Records later that year. The album features a septet with trumpeter Woody Shaw, tenor saxophonist Bennie Maupin, flautist Hubert Laws, bassist Dave Holland and drummers Jack DeJohnette & Horace Arnold.

In 2002, Blue Note Records re-released all tracks from this album, together with Sundance (1972), along with alternate takes from both albums as The Complete "Is" Sessions.
