Spiritual Unity is a 1965 studio album by the American free jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler. It was recorded on July 10, 1964, with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Sunny Murray. It was the first album recorded for Bernard Stollman's ESP-Disk label, and it brought the "shockingly different" Ayler to international attention. It also established ESP-Disk as "a major source for avant-garde jazz".
