Rubisa Patrol is an album by American jazz pianist Art Lande recorded in May 1976 and released on ECM later that year. Lande's Rubisa Patrol quartet features trumpeter Mark Isham and rhythm section Bill Douglass and Glenn Cronkhite.

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:

With Art Lande’s Rubisa Patrol, ECM took a step in a much-heralded direction, one that pushed the scope of its reach even farther..The opening strains of “Celestial Guests–Many Chinas” introduce the dizi, a Chinese bamboo flute, to the ECM instrument bank. Its clarity cuts through our expectations and embraces us with its immediacy. From behind this arresting tonal horizon arises a blazing sun of percussion and lyrical horns. Lande makes things complete by dropping his own potent melodies into this auditory tincture.
A magical album from start to finish, Rubisa is an exercise in atmosphere..."
