Fly with the Wind is a 1976 album by jazz pianist McCoy Tyner, his ninth to be released on the Milestone label. It was recorded in January 1976 and features performances by Tyner with a trio, woodwinds and a full string section.

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states that the album “…has plenty of memorable moments and is a surprising but logical success; Tyner’s orchestral piano blended with the strings very well.” The 2008 CD reissue added two alternate takes as bonus tracks.
