Alive III is a live album released by the American hard rock band KISS in 1993, and certified gold in 1994.

The recording of Alive III took place over multiple dates (in Cleveland, Detroit and Indianapolis) during the band's 1992 tour in support of Revenge. It was the first live album the band had released since 1977's Alive II, and the first live recordings released since 1985's "Animalize Live Uncensored" concert film.

The liner notes of Alive III include a family tree showing the various KISS lineups from 1973-1993, as well as bands that the then-current and former members of KISS were in. It was designed by the band's Japanese fan club.
