From Hackensack to Englewood Cliffs is a compilation album by American saxophonist Ike Quebec, released in 2000 on Blue Note. The album compiles eight jukebox-oriented pieces recorded by Quebec for the label, which, coincidentally, was the last Blue Note session recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's original facility in Hackensack, New Jersey. The final two tracks were recorded at Van Gelder's new studio in nearby Englewood Cliffs.

The first eight tracks are also included in the later The Complete Blue Note 45 Sessions.
