Mistral is a studio album by jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard that was released by Eastworld and Liberty with Phil Ranelin, Art Pepper, George Cables, Peter Wolf, Roland Bautista, Stanley Clarke, Peter Erskine, and Paulinho da Costa.

Scott Yanow of AllMusic gave the album two stars and stated, "Compared to his live performances, this studio recording is a disappointment. Altoist Art Pepper and keyboardist George Cables have a few spots but the arrangements are a bit commercial, the originals (three by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and one apiece from Cables and bassist Stanley Clarke) are forgettable and no one sounds like they are sweating. This LP is one of Hubbard's lesser efforts."
