Youniverse is an album by American jazz saxophonist Rob Brown recorded in 1992 and released on the Riti label, operated by free jazz musician and composer Joe Morris. It features a trio with Morris on guitar and Whit Dickey on drums playing six Brown compositions and two collective improvisations. The same lineup would be named Trio Ahxoloxha when they released the album Prophet Moon a decade later under the leadership of Dickey.
