The Weavers at Carnegie Hall (1957) is the second album by the Weavers. The concert was recorded live at Carnegie Hall in New York City on Christmas Eve 1955. At the time the concert was a comeback for the group following the inclusion of the group on the entertainment industry blacklist. The album peaked at number 24 on the Billboard Top 200 in 1961.

The album represents the first half of that Carnegie Hall concert. A recording of the concert's second half was also released as an album, entitled The Weavers on Tour (1957, rereleased 1970).
