Double Live is the first live album by American country music singer Garth Brooks. It was released on November 17, 1998, and is a two-disc compilation of live songs, recorded during Brooks's 1996–1998 world tour.

The album sold 1,085,000 copies in its first week, setting the record for the highest first-week sales since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales, surpassing the 950,000 copies sold by Pearl Jam's Vs. in 1993, as well as the highest single week sales, surpassing the 1.06 million copies sold by The Bodyguard soundtrack over Christmas 1992. It became the first new best-selling live album in the US since Eric Clapton's Unplugged in 1992, and later became the best-selling live album in United States music history. It has been certified 25× Platinum by the RIAA (12.5 million shipped as it is a double album), and is the seventh most shipped album in the US. By 2012, it had sold 6,017,000 copies.

Double Live was re-released on September 5, 2014, as Double Live: 25th Anniversary Edition, exclusive to GhostTunes.

Double Live was again re-released on November 20, 2018, as part of the Garth Brooks Anthology Part III: Live book.
