Kristin Chenoweth at Carnegie Hall was a concert by American singer and actress Kristin Chenoweth in the Isaac Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall in New York City on September 10, 2004. The sold-out concert was Chenoweth's debut in the landmark venue as a solo act.

Chenoweth headlined the one-night-only concert two months after leaving the role of Glinda on Broadway in Wicked. The concert featured a 13-piece orchestra conducted by Andrew Lippa. Chenoweth was joined on stage by two dancers, Seán Martin Hingston and David Elder. Andrew Gans, in Playbill, praised Chenoweth as an interpreter of lyrics, as well as the range, agility and beauty of her voice, writing: "With a voice that easily glides from Broadway belt to soaring soprano, Chenoweth ... delighted the crowd with an evening that featured classic tunes as well as works by 14 living songwriters. ...[Chenoweth,] arguably the most gifted comedic musical-theatre singer-actress of her generation, drew laughs from most everything she said during the two-hour evening."

Chenoweth returned to Carnegie Hall in 2014 with her concert "The Evolution of a Soprano".
