AE_LIVE is a series of live recordings by British electronic music duo Autechre, initially released on 29 October 2015 by Warp Records. As of 2019, it consists of 28 soundboard recordings, each roughly an hour long, made during their 2014-2015 live tour. Said tour had its inception at Warp Records' 25th anniversary Warp25 celebration in Kraków, Poland on 20 September 2014, the duo's first live show since 2011.{{cite web|url=http://warp.net/news/autechre-and-patten-at-warp25/|title=AUTECHRE AND PATTEN WILL PERFORM AT WARP25 IN SEPTEMBER TO CELEBRATE OUR 25TH ANNIVERSARY|publisher=Warp Records|date=2014-06-25|accessdate=2015-12-08}} The recordings are accompanied by individualized abstract geometric artwork produced by The Designers Republic.

According to the online music outlet Boomkat, the series reflects "the evolution of the duo’s live set" of this period, wherein "the differences between sets are at times subtle and at others not, but each of the releases gives a different glimpse into the way their tools are exploited and manipulated."{{cite web|url=https://boomkat.com/products/ae_live_krakow_200914|title=AUTECHRE: AE_LIVE_KRAKOW_200914|publisher=Boomkat|date=1 February 2019|accessdate=2021-02-01}} In a 2016 interview, Autechre shared that the same system setup was used to create both the 2014-2015 live set and subsequent album elseq 1-5.{{cite podcast |url=https://radiostudent.si/glasba/r%C5%A1-intervju/autechre |title=RŠ INTERVJU: Autechre (Radio Interview) |website=Radiostudent.si |publisher=Radio Študent FM89.3 (Ljubljana, Slovenia) |host=Goran Kompoš |date=4 November 2016 |access-date=1 August 2021 }}
