Uriah Heep Live is a 1973 double live album by British rock group Uriah Heep. In addition to a live version of the band's hit "Easy Livin'", the record included classic live cuts such as "Sweet Lorraine", "Sunrise" and an extended live version of "July Morning". While the band was on tour in the United States, the album reached #13 in the UK charts.

The original album packaging was a lavish affair, typical of the early 1970s, with a gatefold sleeve and with centre pages featuring photographs of the band members.

Uriah Heep Live was the band's first live album, and their third US gold album. Mercury Records initially released the album on CD without the medley, due to time constraints. This was later restored on the 2004 Sanctuary release.

The album was recorded by the Pye Mobile Unit, with Alan Perkins as engineer.

Uriah Heep Live was certified Gold by the RIAA on 12 October 1973.
