The Razor's Edge is an album by jazz bassist Dave Holland, released in 1987. It is the last of three albums recorded by this quintet line-up. Two tunes from this album have been reprised on later recordings - both Blues For C.M. and the title track were featured on Holland's first big band release, What Goes Around.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "The group's three ECM releases are well worth exploring, and this set gives listeners a strong example of their work".
