Nefertiti, the Beautiful One Has Come is a 1962 album by the Cecil Taylor Unit, recorded live at the Café Montmartre in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is key documentation of the group's evolution into lengthy collective performances.

Saxophonist Albert Ayler also played on the adjacent nights, but not on these recordings. The one extant recording of the quartet performance at Café Montmartre was released in 2004 on Holy Ghost, Revenant Records's 9-disc box of Albert Ayler recordings.
