The multi-point Taylor polynomial, which is the general, unique and of minimum degree (mk+m−1) polynomial Pk,m(x) which interpolates a function's derivatives in multiple points is presented in its explicit form. A proof that this expression satisfies the multi-point Taylor polynomial's defining property is given. Namely, it is proven that for a k-differentiable function f

and a set of different m-points

, this polynomial satisfies
Pk,m(n)(ai)=f(n)(ai)∀i=1,...,m&∀n=0,...,k
. A discussion regarding previous expressions presented in the literature, which mostly consisted in recursion formulas and not explicit formulas, is made.
