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.{{cite news|url=http://www.bravewords.com/news/127923|title=Meshuggah's Alive details revealed|date=December 8, 2009|work=Bravewords.com|accessdate=January 11, 2010|archive-date=23 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120923180158/http://www.bravewords.com/news/127923|url-status=dead}}

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.{{Cite web|url=http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=108945|title = Album Covers Inspired by Movie Posters}}
