Live from the Royal Albert Hall is a live album and DVD by American rock band The Killers. It was released on November 10, 2009 in the UK, Canada and the US. The album is pulled from two nights the band performed at the Royal Albert Hall in July 2009, and also includes footage from festival dates the band headlined during the middle months of 2009. A CD of live material accompanies the DVD as part of the package. The artwork resembles the artwork for the band's third studio album, Day & Age, and was designed by artist Paul Normansell.

Brandon Flowers said the decision to film the band's first live DVD at the Royal Albert Hall was because "London’s always been very good to us. They opened their arms to us before anybody else did. And Royal Albert Hall is a very iconic and special place. I grew up watching Morrissey videos that he had filmed there. So it was really exciting to be a part of it."
Live from the Royal Albert Hall was nominated for Best DVD at the 2010 NME Awards.

Critical
Critical response to Live from the Royal Albert Hall was positive. Starpulse said the release was "quite possibly the best live album and video since Elvis and his 'Aloha From Hawaii' some 36 years ago. It's nothing less than rock and roll at its greatest," and gave it five stars out of five. Rolling Stone gave it four-out-of-five stars and claimed "Brandon Flowers doesn't sing: he testifies." Entertainment Weekly put the DVD on its "Must List", remarking "When Brandon Flowers et al. explode into closing number "When You Were Young," and the fans start to sing (and then jump) along, it's a wonder those 138-year-old walls stay standing."
