Trillium is an ongoing opera cycle being composed by Anthony Braxton. The cycle is planned to consist of 12 operas, each comprising 1 to 5 acts that can be performed in any order by ensembles of varying size. Each opera explores different philosophical frameworks developed by Braxton in his Tri-Axium Writings.

Composition of the cycle began in the 1980s with Trillium A, and continues through the most recent addition, Trillium X, completed in 2014.
