Electric Ladyland is the third and final studio album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, released in October 1968. A double album, it was the only record from the Experience with production solely credited to Hendrix. The band's most commercially successful release and its only number one album, it was released by Reprise Records in the United States on October 16, 1968, and by Track Records in the UK nine days later. By mid-November, it had reached number 1 on the Billboard Top LPs chart, spending two weeks there. In the UK it peaked at number 6, where it spent 12 weeks on the British charts.

Electric Ladyland includes a cover of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower", which became the Experience's best-selling single, reaching number six in the UK and number 20 in the United States. Although the album confounded critics in upon its release, it has since been viewed as one of Hendrix's best works and one of the greatest albums of all time, and has been featured on many "greatest albums" lists, including Q's 2003 list of the 100 greatest albums and Rolling Stone's 2020 list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", on which it was ranked 53rd.
