AC/DC Live is the second live album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released on 27 October 1992.

It was released both as a single album and as a double album on LP and CD known as AC/DC Live: 2 CD Collector's Edition. The album is supported by a video, AC/DC: Live at Donington. The double album AC/DC Live: 2 CD Collector's Edition was released a month after the single-disc version, in a slipcased two-disc "book" (similar in shape to old CD longboxes) and containing an AC/DC dollar note. Both editions of the album were re-released in 2003 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series. The recordings on this live album are taken from several shows from AC/DC's 1991 The Razors Edge tour: Glasgow, Edmonton, Birmingham and the Donington and Moscow "Monsters of Rock" shows. Barry Weber of AllMusic writes: "All too often, a live album is a cheaply made, rushed recording that only serves as a testament to a band's decline. AC/DC Live, however, shows what makes this band different from their peers - here they are still entirely capable of pulling off a great live show. This ranks among the best live metal albums of the '90s."

The Japanese version includes the bonus track "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be" (Donington Park, England, UK – 08/17/91) which was the b-side of the "Highway To Hell" (live) single. This track was later included on the deluxe edition of Backtracks in 2009.

Though it still remains unknown, it is believed that both "Are You Ready" and "That's the Way I Wanna Rock 'n' Roll" were performed on the same date. It is also believed that "High Voltage" was performed during the 2nd European/Monsters of Rock Leg.

Even though Sin City appears to be performed at the Point Theatre in Dublin on 26th April 1991, as Brian says in the intro on the album, "We've got a song for you, Dublin", at the real Dublin show he actually said, "OK Dublin, we've got a song especially for you" (a bootleg recording of the show exists). The rest of the song comes from a performance at the NEC in Birmingham on 20th April 1991.
