Live (stylised as (LIVE)) is the first live album by singer-songwriter James Taylor released on August 10, 1993, by Columbia Records. The double album presents selections from 14 shows during a November 1992 tour. In the US, Live peaked at number 20 on the Billboard 200 chart and has sold more than one million copies, being certified 2× platinum by the RIAA.

A single-album CD of highlights of the double album was also released, titled Best Live. There are two different versions of this album; a 17-track version was released in 1993, and a shorter 12-track version on June 21, 1994. On digital distributors such as Spotify and iTunes, many of the verbal introductions that were present in the original CD have been cut.
