Larry Coryell at the Village Gate is a live album by jazz guitarist Larry Coryell that was recorded on January 21 and 22, 1971 at the Village Gate in New York City. It was released by Vanguard Records. This was the first Coryell album on which his wife Julie sang. The album included a cover version of a song by Jack Bruce with whom Coryell toured in 1968. ^{[5] [6]}

Rolling Stone stated the album showed Coryell with a power-trio in rock form. ^[3] In his memoir, Coryell stated that Bronson and Wilkinson formed a tight rhythm section, although it may seem an odd combination. His son Murali appeared on the album jacket. ^[7]
