The Clearwater Concert was a concert that took place on May 3, 2009 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The concert, a celebration of Pete Seeger's 90th birthday, raised funds for Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Seeger's environmental advocacy organization.

The concert was billed as The Clearwater Concert: Creating the Next Generation of Environmental Leaders. Ticket prices ranged from $19.19 (Seeger's birthyear) to $250, with the majority of seats at $90 to honor his 90th birthday. Each ticket also included a one-year membership to Clearwater for new members.

Over 40 performers from various genres performed at the event.
