Roxy: Tonight's the Night Live is a live album by Canadian-American musician Neil Young. The album is culled from live recordings made at the Roxy Theatre on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, shows that celebrated the club's opening as part of Neil Young Tonight's the Night Tour 1973. Neil Young and the backing band he called the Santa Monica Flyers played two sets a night on September 20, 21, and 22, 1973, shortly after the band had finished recording Tonight's the Night. Because of that, almost the entire concert is made up of that album.

The album was also included in the Archives Volume II boxset released in 2020, featuring an additional track "The Losing End" not present on the original version.
