"Live in Leipzig" is a live album by the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem. It was recorded at the Eiskeller club in Leipzig, Germany on November 26, 1990. However, the album was not released until 1993. The songs performed during the concert were from "Deathcrush" (1987) and the yet-to-be-recorded "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" (1994). It is one of the few official or bootleg albums to feature Dead as vocalist.

This album became infamous in the black metal underground due to the great lengths that the band took to present the atmosphere they intended. The show featured intentional wrist slitting by Dead and several graphic props; such as severed pig heads impaled on wooden spikes, pieces of rotting meat being tossed into the audience, and dead ravens placed in bags so band members could continually smell the aroma of death and decay.
