Steadfast is one of two albums recorded by American jazz pianist John Hicks during his first studio session as leader in 1975. It was ultimately released on the Strata-East and Bellaphon Records labels in 1991.[1][2][3]

Hicks's material covers "decades-old standards, time-tested jazz works and his own [...] originals".[4] Critic Ken Dryden wrote that Hicks was "at the top of his game, with an excellent instrument and engineer in a London studio".[4]
