Live in Japan is a live album by American rock band Chicago, released in November 1972.{{cite web |author1-link=Discogs |title=Chicago (2) = シカゴ* – Live In Japan = ライヴ・イン・ジャパン |url=https://www.discogs.com/Chicago-2-%E3%82%B7%E3%82%AB%E3%82%B4-Live-In-Japan-%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B4%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A3%E3%83%91%E3%83%B3/release/5268368 |website=Discogs |access-date=6 July 2021 |page=obi stripe |language=Japanese |quote=ョ72年11月発表}} It was recorded over the course of three days at the Osaka Festival Hall on the band's tour in support of Chicago V in 1972. The group recorded Japanese-language versions of "Lowdown" and "Questions 67 And 68" to coincide with their Japan performances. They performed both songs in Japanese during their stay, which are documented on this album.

Originally, the album was released as a two-LP set (CBS/Sony SOPJ 31-32XR), and only in Japan. The album was released in the U.S. in 1996 as a two-CD set (CRD-3030) on Chicago's own label, Chicago Records.

Live in Japan does not follow Chicago's convention of numbering albums. Chicago's other early live album, 1971's Chicago at Carnegie Hall, however, is part of the canon, with the numbering for the album being 'IV'.
