Pacifica is a studio album by English guitarist, composer and improvisor Fred Frith. It was composed by Frith in 1994 as "a meditation for 21 musicians with texts by Pablo Neruda". The work was commissioned by AngelicA - festival internazionale di musica of Bologna, Italy. It was performed live, under the direction of Frith, by the Bolognese Eva Kant ensemble at Festival Musique Action of Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, France, and at AngelicA in May 1994, and recorded in a studio in 1995 in Modena, Italy. Texts, taken from the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda's works, were recorded by Sergio Meza in September 1997 in Santiago, Chile and were added to the music in 1998. The album was released on Tzadik Records' Composer Series in 1998.
