Extrapolation is the debut album by English jazz guitarist John McLaughlin. It was recorded at Advision Studios in January 1969 and first released later in the year by Marmalade Records in the UK. The label was founded by producer Giorgio Gomelsky and distributed by Polydor Records. Re-issues of the album are on the Polydor label.[5]

In 1972 the album was issued for the first time in the United States following McLaughlin's success as the leader of Mahavishnu Orchestra. It reached No. 152 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

"Binky's Beam" is dedicated to former jazz bass player Binky McKenzie.
