Are You Experienced is the debut studio album by English-American rock band the Jimi Hendrix Experience (pictured). Released in 1967, the LP was an immediate critical and commercial success, and it is widely regarded as one of the greatest debuts in the history of rock music.

The US release, issued in August, contained some of Hendrix's best-known songs, including the Experience's first three singles: "Purple Haze", "Hey Joe", and "The Wind Cries Mary". Both the US and UK versions included "Foxy Lady". In 2005, Rolling Stone ranked Are You Experienced 15th on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
