Live at the Fillmore Auditorium is a live album by the American musician Chuck Berry. He was backed by the Steve Miller Blues Band (which later became better known as the Steve Miller Band). Berry's second live album, it was released in 1967 by Mercury Records.

The album was re-released on CD by Rebound Records, with three additional tracks, "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl", "Reelin' and Rockin'" and "My Ding-a-Ling". Incorrectly marked as bonus tracks are "Feelin' It" and "It Hurts Me Too", both of which are on the original album. The Rebound reissue omits "Wee Baby Blues", which is on the original album. An earlier CD reissue by Mercury additionally includes "Bring Another Drink" and "Worried Life Blues".

Rolling Stone wrote that "the most interesting cuts are the instrumentals where Berry applies his rock guitar to Chicago blues and the Steve Miller Band comes into the foreground."
