Live in Leipzig is a live album by the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem. It was recorded at the Eiskeller club in Leipzig, Germany on 26 November 1990 but not released until 1993.

It is one of the band's few official releases with Dead as vocalist, albeit posthumous.

AllMusic critic Steve Huey wrote, "With a shortage of official Mayhem material featuring this [classic] lineup, it's a necessary item for devoted fans, even in spite of the less-than-ideal sound quality."[1]

German magazine Rock Hard included it in the list "250 Black-Metal-Alben, die man kennen sollte" ("250 Black Metal Albums You Should Know").[2]
