A generalization of Neumann's integral connecting the two kinds of Legendre function is obtained. It contains an extra parameter which is not a function of the parameters of the Legendre functions, unlike all previous extensions of the original formula. These extensions are shown to be particular cases of the new generalization and some further particular cases are also indicated.
