Closer to the Source is an album by trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie recorded in 1985, featuring an all star cast of guest musicians and released on the Atlantic label.

The Allmusic review stated "This set of commercial material (with guest spots by Stevie Wonder, tenor saxophonist Branford Marsalis and bassist Marcus Miller) is quite forgettable -- throwaway funk tunes with the parts of the sidemen sounding as if they were phoned in".
