The Three Faces of Yusef Lateef is a jazz studio album by multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef. It was recorded on May 9, 1960, in New York City and released in June 1960 on Riverside Records (catalog RLP 325). The album runs 42 minutes and 24 seconds and was produced by Orrin Keepnews. In Lateef's discography, it follows Cry! – Tender (1959) and precedes The Centaur and the Phoenix (1960). All tracks are composed by Yusef Lateef unless otherwise noted. The AllMusic reviewer Stacia Proefrock said the album is not as expansive as some of Lateef's other work, but still shows a fine musician at the peak of his career.
