"Bonfire" is a 5 disc box set* by the Australian band AC/DC, released in 1997. It was created as a tribute to the band's earlier singer Bon Scott and included the two disc soundtrack to the movie "Let There be Rock", some early unreleased tracks, a live recording from the Atlantic Records studio in New York and a remastered version of "Back in Black".

The album was originally released in 1997 with the CDs all packaged individually in jewel cases, complete with full artwork. The original issue also features a poster, a backstage pass, keyring and a few other extras depending on the region. When the album was reissued in 2003 it was packaged in a large digipak, similar to a longbox, which featured either 4 or 5 disc trays. The 4-tray versions contained the remastered "Back in Black" in its own case with booklet. All versions of the box feature a large book full of liner notes and rare pictures of the band, mostly from before Scott's death.

The boxset was the subject of a bit of derision from AC/DC fans for its limited content - two live albums (one previously released) and a select few rarities, as well as the Bon-inspired "Back in Black", which of course does not feature Scott on vocals. AC/DC defended the release, stating that there was very little recorded by Scott that wasn't released.
