Roots to Branches is the 19th studio album by the British band Jethro Tull released in September 1995.

This is the last Tull album to feature Dave Pegg on the bass, and the first to feature keyboardist Andrew Giddings as an official band member, although he had contributed to Catfish Rising (1991) on a sessional basis.
