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 was shot. However, a release has not been announced.

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