The Bill Evans Trio "Live" is a live album by American jazz pianist Bill Evans and his trio, with bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Larry Bunker, recorded in 1964 but not released until 1971 (by which time Evans had a different trio with Eddie Gómez and Marty Morell). Evans did not approve the release of this material and blocked a second LP from appearing when jazz critic Leonard Feather called him to discuss the liner notes.

Additional tracks from these live recordings at The Trident were, however, released in 1997 on The Complete Bill Evans on Verve box set. The original LP has been remastered and reissued on CD as a Japanese import (Verve UCCU-6320).

The cover photo is a blue version of the same one that had been used for the album Bill Evans at Town Hall (recorded later but released earlier).
