Pharoah Sanders

Farrell "Pharoah" Sanders (født 13. oktober 1940 i Arkansas, død 24. september 2022) var en amerikansk saxofonist og fløjtenist.

Sanders fik sit egentlige gennembrud i John Coltranes gruppe i 1965. Han kom til New York i 1961 og begyndte at spille med Sun Ra og forskellige rythm & blues-baserede orkestre.

Da han kom med Coltrane udviklede han for alvor sin ekspressionistiske avantgardestil og influerede endda Coltrane i dennes sidste periode.

Han spillede ligeledes med Carla Bley, Cecil Taylor, Don Cherry, Larry Coryell, Alice Coltrane, McCoy Tyner og Gato Barbieri.

Sanders lavede en mængde indspilninger med egne grupper.
