Live at the Wireless is the name given to live concert and festival recordings captured by the Australian national youth radio station Triple J. They are broadcast weekly in a Sunday night block.

In the segment's earlier years, artists typically recorded their sets live in Triple J studios, before it shifted to capturing music at venues, which better expressed the crowd atmosphere. The Triple J live music and video team records, mixes and masters all sets.

Triple J have released several CD compilations of live recordings from the segment. In the age of streaming, many individual artists have released their Live at the Wireless recordings as albums, including Middle Kids and Ball Park Music.
