Au cœur du stade (lit.'In the heart of the stadium') is the fourth live album by Canadian singer Celine Dion, released by Columbia Records on 27 August 1999. It was recorded during two sold-out concerts at the Stade de France in Paris in June 1999, staged at the height of Dion's international success. The shows marked a milestone in music history, as Dion became the first artist ever to perform for more than 90,000 spectators per night, drawing a combined audience of 180,000 people and setting a new benchmark for stadium concerts in Europe.

The album features primarily French-language material, largely from S'il suffisait d'aimer (1998), complemented by live renditions of global hits such as "My Heart Will Go On" and "Let's Talk About Love". Celebrated for its scale, energy, and Dion's powerful vocal delivery, Au cœur du stade topped the charts across Francophone markets and earned multiple certifications, including double platinum in France, platinum in Belgium and Switzerland, and gold in Canada. It remains one of Dion's most notable live releases, capturing the atmosphere of her record-breaking performances at the Stade de France.
