Crisis is a live album by the American jazz saxophonist and composer Ornette Coleman recorded at New York University in 1969 and released on the Impulse! label.[2]

In 2017, Real Gone Music reissued Crisis on CD as part of a compilation that also included Ornette at 12.[3][4]

Brian Olewnick's AllMusic review awarded the album 4½ stars and stated: "Crisis somehow lacks the reputation of the revolutionary Coleman albums from early in his career, but on purely musical grounds it ranks among his most satisfying works".[5]
