Kicking Television: Live in Chicago is a live album by Wilco, recorded during the band's four night stand at Chicago's Vic Theatre in May 2005. This is the first full album to feature Wilco's current lineup as a sextet, barring their appearance on The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (soundtrack) with the track "Just A Kid."

With the release of a live DVD in mind, footage of the four concerts were shot, but have not been released. There are no plans to release the footage, although the footage of the track "Kicking Television" used to be posted on the Roadcase section of Wilco's official website but has since been taken down.

"Monday" and "How to Fight Loneliness" are Internet bonus tracks from this album.
