Third Ear Recitation is an album by American jazz saxophonist David S. Ware recorded in 1992 and released on the Japanese DIW label.

This is the first recording by the David S. Ware Quartet with Whit Dickey replacing former drummer Marc Edwards.

Ware, a lifelong student of rhythm, dedicated "The Chase" to early associate drummer Beaver Harris, who died in December 1991.

The quartet also plays two standards, Matt Dennis' "Angel Eyes", and two completely different takes of Joseph Kosma's "Autumn Leaves".
