Citi Movement is a double album by Wynton Marsalis released in 1993 on Columbia Records. It was recorded in 1992 in New York and produced by Wynton and Delfeayo Marsalis. The album blends acoustic jazz with hip-hop and funk elements, reflecting urban life.

The work is structured in two parts: "Citi Movement" and "Griot New York", each with multiple sections. Marsalis aimed to capture the city's rhythm and energy, using a 15-piece big band. The album received mixed reviews for its ambition.

Although it won no major awards, Citi Movement is considered a valuable experiment in fusing jazz with contemporary music. Marsalis explored collective improvisation and polyrhythm here, influenced by free jazz and the rap of the era.
