Adele at the BBC (also known as Adele Live in London to some international markets) is a television special featuring British singer and songwriter Adele, hosted by Graham Norton for BBC One, and which was recorded at The London Studios, London, United Kingdom on 2 November 2015. The programme featured Adele and her live band performing songs from her repertoire and third studio album 25 (2015), as well as other songs from her other two albums, 19 (2008) and 21 (2011), alongside Adele being interviewed by Norton.

The show featured the first public performance of her single "Hello" and two other tracks from 25, and her first television appearance since the 85th Academy Awards (2013). It also featured sketch sections, where Adele interacted with her fans, including a group of Adele impersonators. The show was broadcast on Friday 20 November on BBC One from 20:30 – 21:35 GMT, the same day that her new album 25 was released.

Since this was broadcast, numerous other artists have had "at the BBC" specials too: Michael Bublé, Harry Styles, Sam Smith, U2 and Ariana Grande.
