Reunion is a live album by heavy metal band Black Sabbath.

After a somewhat unstable line-up after the departure of vocalist Ozzy Osbourne in 1979, and a couple of one-off reunions in 1985 and 1992, the original line-up of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward got back together for good in 1997. This 2-CD live album was put together from the first two shows after the reunion, at the Birmingham NEC. Along with live versions of tracks such as Paranoid, N.I.B, Black Sabbath and Iron Man, it also features two new studio tracks - "Selling My Soul" and "Psycho Man". This is the only new material to have been officially released by Black Sabbath post-reunion, and the two tracks were also released on a single CD in the USA.

Though the band were considered legends by this time, this was the first "official" live album featuring Osbourne on vocals. 1980's Live At Last was not approved for release by the band.
