Places and Spaces is an album by American trumpeter Donald Byrd, that was released on Blue Note in 1975.

Allmusic awarded the album four stars and reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that there isn’t much of interest on Places and Spaces for jazz purists, but the album would appeal to most fans of Philly soul, lite funk, and proto-disco.
