Delphi I, Solo Piano Improvisations is a studio album recorded by Chick Corea and released in 1979. It is his third solo piano album.

DownBeat assigned the album 5 stars.^[3] Reviewer Jon Balleras wrote, "The “Delphi” titles here are eight vignettes reflecting Coreas feelings towards Delphi and depicting life at that school . . . Accompanying these pastels are seven pieces inspired by Art Tatum . . . there’s a lot to savor here, not just Corea's stylistic continuity and inventive powers, but his caring musicianship".^[3]
