The Source is a live album by American saxophonist Jackie McLean featuring Dexter Gordon recorded at the Jazzhus Montmartre in 1973 and released on the SteepleChase label.

Robert Christgau wrote in his 1977 column in The Village Voice that he preferred The Source to both McLean's The Meeting and Gordon's 1976 Homecoming if he wanted to "hear recent live Dexter".AllMusic critic Scott Yanow was less enthusiastic, writing that "the music is a bit loose and long-winded ('Half Nelson' is over 18 minutes long) but recommended to straightahead jazz fans".
