The Trio (alternatively titled The Trio: Live From Chicago) is a 1961 live album by the Oscar Peterson Trio, recorded at the London House jazz club in Chicago, during a period in which the pianist "was generally in peak form."[2]

Three other Oscar Peterson Trio albums were also released featuring music from the London House concerts: The Sound of the Trio, Something Warm and Put On a Happy Face. The complete sessions were released in 1996 as The London House Sessions.
