I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings is a 2001 live album by English rock band Radiohead. It consists of live performances of eight songs recorded on a tour of Europe and North America, including seven songs from their albums Kid A and Amnesiac. The final track, "True Love Waits", was never released on a studio album and is performed on acoustic guitar by Thom Yorke. It was the only release, apart from their studio albums and bonus material from the The King of Limbs sessions, that the band allowed to stay on streaming services such as Spotify after their catalog was purchased by XL Recordings in 2016.

Upon its release, I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings received positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 76, which indicates "generally favorable", based on 16 reviews.[1]

AllMusic's Sam Samuelson thought that "it might have been wiser to release Amnesiac and some of the material from this release as a complete Kid A sessions package, rather than a couple of thrown-together releases."[2] Stephen Thompson of The A.V. Club wrote: "Though marred by characteristically unrevealing packaging and inexplicable brevity, I Might Be Wrong casts new light on the band's much-examined recent material."[3] Entertainment.ie critic Andrew Lynch was positive in his review of the album, stating: "Unlike most live albums, this one captures some of the excitement of actually being there and gives Radiohead back the human dimension they've recently been in danger of losing."[4]
