China Live is a Chinese marketplace (food hall) in San Francisco, California, which is very large{{cite news|url=http://www.sfchronicle.com/restaurants/article/China-Live-A-food-emporium-of-epic-proportions-10949869.php|title=China Live: A food emporium of epic proportions in San Francisco's Chinatown|work=San Francisco Chronicle|author=Jonathan Kauffman|date=February 22, 2017}} and comprises various casual and fine dining restaurants, bars and food and beverage outlets. China Live was founded by George and Cindy Chen. George Chen was formerly involved in several local restaurants including Betelnut, Xanadu, and Shanghai 1930.
China Live was inspired by, and has been compared to, Eataly, a chain of similar establishments based on Italian food.
A branch in Seattle's Denny Triangle neighborhood on the Amazon headquarters campus was announced in February 2020. China Live later delayed the food hall's opening to 2022 and ultimately cancelled its lease due to the COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite news |last=Guarente |first=Gabe |date=April 30, 2021 |title=Hyped Food Hall China Live Won't Be Coming to Seattle After All |url=https://seattle.eater.com/2021/4/30/22412255/food-hall-china-live-not-coming-to-seattle |work=Eater Seattle |accessdate=April 30, 2021}}
