Alive is the first live album by Swedish extreme metal band Meshuggah. The film was released as a double album (DVD with CD in digipak) through Nuclear Blast on 5 February 2010 in Europe and 9 February 2010 in North America.

Half of the film consists of the band performing songs on their obZen Tour during 2008–2009. This is intertwined with documentary-style clips of the members talking about their experiences in the band. Also on the DVD is "The Making of Bleed", a documentary on how the music video for "Bleed" was shot, along with the music video itself; and a "Drum Tour" and "Guitar Tour".

The cover is made to imitate the film poster for Alien.
