Live at the 12 Bar: An Authorised Bootleg is a straight-to-DAT concert recording by Scottish folk musician Bert Jansch released in August 1996. The concert was recorded in The 12 Bar Club, Denmark Street, London in 1995. The CD was originally available in a supposedly limited edition at gigs, in a dark blue and black sleeve, the Jansch Records version was subsequently repressed and distributed by Cooking Vinyl (to whom Bert was actually contracted at the time), though it never appeared as an official Cooking Vinyl release. Some later pressings used the same artwork but with black and white replacing blue and black.

On 25 March 2015, Earth Recordings reissued the album (titled simply "Live At The 12 Bar", with new sleeve art by Kyle Lonsdale) in digital, CD, and vinyl formats.
