The Essential Santana je kompilacijski album skupine Santana, ki je izšel leta 2002. Album je del serije Essential, ki je izšla pri založbi Sony BMG.
Za razliko od nekaterih drugih kompilacij skupine, vsebuje The Essential Santana studijski posnetek skladbe »Soul Sacrifice« in ne žive verzije z Woodstocka.
Kompilacija ne vsebuje skladb z najuspešnejšega albuma skupine, Supernatural, ker v času izdaje tega albuma, založbi Arista Records in Columbia Records nista imeli skupnega lastnika. Leta 2013 je založba Sony izdala še eno kompilacijo Essential Santana, ki vsebuje tudi skladbe založbe Arista, kot tudi Woodstock verzijo skladbe »Soul Sacrifice«.
