In Concert is a live album by Christian singer Amy Grant, released in 1981 on Myrrh Records.

In Concert was the first album of a double live set, the other being In Concert Volume Two, which was released later that year. Although the two should have been issued as a double album, budget problems forced the two to be released separately. In Concert featured two new songs: "Mimi's House" and "Singing a Love Song", the latter became a Top Ten Christian radio hit.{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}} It was re-released in 2007 by Sparrow Records.

The album was nominated for Grammy Award for Best Gospel Performance, Contemporary.{{cite web|url=https://www.grammy.com/grammys/artists/amy-grant|publisher=Grammy|title=Grammy - nominations|access-date=29 June 2019}}
