Jazz at Lincoln Center is a United States–based organization in the performing arts that advances jazz through performances, education programs, and advocacy. It presents performances by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and guest artists across genres, reaching a global audience through live shows and broadcast events each season. The organization treats jazz as a democratic art form, highlighting improvisation as personal expression, swing as a means of shared ground, and blues roots that support perseverance.

Led by Managing and Artistic Director Wynton Marsalis and Executive Director Greg Scholl, the organization operates with hundreds of staff supporting its programs. It runs education initiatives such as the Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition & Festival, which brings together top high school ensembles for competition and performances.
