Live is a 1968 studio album by the American psychedelic rock band the 13th Floor Elevators. In an interview the band cited that the album was essentially made up of studio outtakes that were overdubbed with phony cheering and applause. The album is lowly regarded and was put together by the International Artists label to make extra money with little to no input from the band.

At the time of its release it was hailed as "one of the finest releases of the year" in Mass Media. Allmusic gave it a two and a half stars rating, describing it as "an often laughable collection" but also noting that it contained "several excellent early performances".
