The Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack is a Grateful Dead album that was recorded live in 1974 and released in 2005.

In 1974, the Grateful Dead were burned out from touring, and their legendary sound system, the "Wall of Sound", had proven too expensive to continue with. So the Dead decided to stop touring for an indefinite period of time. In October they played five nights at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. As they were the last concerts before the hiatus, the Dead wanted them to be properly recorded and documented by a film crew. The results were a rather unsuccessful live album, Steal Your Face, and a film, The Grateful Dead Movie. The movie was released in theaters in 1977, and on videotape in 1981. In 2004 it was expanded to a double DVD with bonus cuts and documentaries. A few months later, a five CD album was released as The Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack. The album included even more previously unreleased tracks, including a rare "Tomorrow Is Forever". The DVD contains one track not released on the soundtrack ("Sugaree" from October 18).
