Live at the Britt Festival is a live album by Michael Nesmith, released in 1999. It was recorded live at the Britt Festival in Jacksonville, Oregon, on June 19, 1992. To prepare for the concert, Nesmith conducted a limited U.S. tour which featured a similar set list as the Britt Festival.

The performance was Nesmith's last with longtime collaborator and pedal steel guitarist Red Rhodes, who died on August 20, 1995.https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0722509/ {{User-generated source|date=May 2022}}
