Octave of the Holy Innocents is a studio album by Swedish bassist Jonas Hellborg, experimental guitarist Buckethead and drummer Michael Shrieve first released in 1993.

The album title refers to the Massacre of the Innocents and the Simple Octave of Christian liturgical usage. Hellborg reworked the album in 2003 and re-released it through Bardo Records.

He wrote:

When looking over the tapes of these sessions I discovered tracks that I did not use the first time around. So there are no extra songs on this reissue, but a fundamental reworking of all the compositions of the first release. Some new light on this music that I did with 2 of my absolute favorite musicians.
