Live at the Winter Garden is the second live album by American singer and actress Liza Minnelli, released in 1974. It is her second release under the Columbia Records label.

The recording took place during some of the shows of the tour titled Liza, which consisted of 24 shows held at the Winter Garden Theatre, located at 1634 Broadway in the heart of Manhattan, New York City.

The LP was released in April 1974, and the promotion included full-page advertisements in American magazines, such as Billboard magazine.

Due to contractual conflicts, the album was withdrawn from circulation shortly afterward because it included songs from the film Cabaret, whose soundtrack was still in the market. Thus, it became a rare - and even considered lost - title in Liza's discography. Eleven of the fourteen tracks from the soundtrack appeared on the compilation Cabaret... And All That Jazz: The Liza Minnelli Anthology, released by the Salvo label.

In 2012, Masterworks Broadway released the album in its entirety on CD and digital download, marking the first time the performance was officially available in these formats. Three live bonus tracks were also part of the re-release, including "You and I" by Stevie Wonder and the classics "It Had to Be You" and "My Shining Hour."
