Jimi Hendrix: Live At Berkeley is a live album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was recorded live at the Berkeley Community Theatre in Berkeley, California on May 30, 1970. Includes liner notes by John McDermott.

After his Band of Gypsys phase, Hendrix had decided to reunite the original Experience, but bassist Noel Redding declined, perhaps convinced that his band, Fat Mattress, was bound for glory. With drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Billy Cox, the trio played through "old" chestnuts ("Hey Joe," "Purple Haze") and pushing the boundaries with works-in-progress (embryonic versions of what would become "Straight Ahead" and "New Rising Sun").
