Live in Paris is the first live album and video album by Canadian singer Diana Krall, released on October 1, 2002, by Verve Records. The album was recorded during Krall's sold-out concerts at Paris's Olympia from November 29 to December 2, 2001, and includes songs from her albums Only Trust Your Heart (1995), All for You: A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio (1996), When I Look in Your Eyes (1999), and The Look of Love (2001).

In the United States alone, the album has sold over 500,000 copies while the video has sold over 200,000 copies. The album won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album and the 2003 Juno Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year. Billboard ranked the album at number eight on the magazine's Top Jazz Albums of the Decade.

The CD album was released in the United Kingdom under the title A Night in Paris with a different cover art; the track listing omits the track "Maybe You'll Be There", while including the bonus track "Charmed Life" and the music video for "The Look of Love".[1]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings[5]

Christopher Loudon of JazzTimes wrote, "I'm guessing that producer Tommy LiPuma, sage pulse-taker that he is, recognized it was high time for Krall to get back to basics. If so, 10 points for Tommy. Apart from the presence, on two of the album's 11 tracks, of the syrupy but subdued Orchestre Symphonique Europeen, Live in Paris features the British Columbia beauty stripped bare, passion fully exposed, intensity cranked to 11. Raw, unplugged, pure. Krall 101".[6]

Nail Gader of The Absolute Sound stated, "Surfaces are dead quiet, and the LP is lighter on its feet, more layered, airier, finer grained, and more transparent. Live in Paris is a great addition to a choice LP collection".[2]

Jeff Cebulski of Paste commented, "In the meantime, Krall croons blue notes heretofore reserved for Cassandra Wilson (in Joni Mitchell's 'A Case of You'), whispers wispy ballads, and even scats a bit—a welcome return to her early form, before market-driven pressures took over".[7]
