One Fell Swoop is an album by saxophonist Steve Lacy's Quartet featuring Charles Tyler which was recorded in Paris in 1986 and released on the Swedish Silkheart label.

The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "There are signs on One Fell Swoop that he is looking back and rerunning some ideas from his own bottom drawer, reviving that Dixieland counterpoint which had tended to get unravelled and spun out at unrecognisable length in more recent years. The title track (two performances) and "Ode to Lady Day" are splendid performances" In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "The inside/outside music rewards repeated listenings, and the Lacy/Tyler match-up, helped by their contrasting but complementary styles, works quite well".

All compositions by Steve Lacy except where noted.
