Extensions is an album by jazz bassist Dave Holland released on the ECM label in 1990. It was Dave Holland's eight album to be released on the ECM label. It features two members of his previous quintet -Steve Coleman and Marvin "Smitty" Smith - alongside guitarist Kevin Eubanks, in his first appearance on a Dave Holland record.
Holland reprised his tune Processional, first recorded on this album, on his later sextet album Pass It On.
