Orgasm is an album by jazz hornist Alan Shorter recorded in 1968 and released on the Verve label.

[3][4] AllMusic rated the album 4½ stars and its review by Scott Yanow states, "Shorter, although not a virtuoso, comes up with consistently inventive ideas.

[5] David Grundy of Point of Departure called the album Shorter's "definitive statement" of the period, and noted that "the record has an utterly distinctive atmosphere... 'sinister' is the operative word, an atmosphere drawing, perhaps, from Alan's love of the ambiguous spaces of horror and science-fiction movies – spaces of waiting, of threat, of tension and anticipation, or of sorrow.

"[7] Amiri Baraka wrote: "It is a music meant to shake, to stir, to arouse.

He praised the "total sound and conception and burning energy" of the musicians, and remarked: "There is a freshness to this music that makes you listen... till the last eerie passage.
