The Essential Herbie Hancock is the forty-sixth album by American jazz musician and pianist Herbie Hancock. It is part of Sony BMG's The Essential series. Unlike the box set The Herbie Hancock Box, this 2-disc set is the first compilation of Hancock's music that included music from all the various recording labels for which Hancock recorded.
