Fantasy: Mariah Carey at Madison Square Garden was Mariah Carey's fourth DVD/Home Video release. It presents Carey performing live at New York's Madison Square Garden on October 10, 1995. The home video was originally released in early 1996, and the DVD was released in late 2004.

Originally shown as a television special in 1995 on Fox, the video presented Carey performing a concert to celebrate and promote her fourth studio album, Daydream, and to help prepare her and her crew for her 1996 Daydream World Tour. Carey performed five songs from Daydream - "Fantasy", "One Sweet Day", "Always Be My Baby", "Open Arms", and "Forever" - in addition to six of her older hits: "Vision of Love", "Make It Happen", "I'll Be There", "Dreamlover", "Hero", and "Without You".

The concert featured a number of guest stars. Boyz II Men performed "One Sweet Day" with Carey, and Wanya Morris of Boyz II Men also performed "I'll Be There" with her. Although he did not perform with Carey, Ol' Dirty Bastard came out after her final performance of "Vision of Love" was over, and rapped some of his lines to the "Bad Boy Remix" of "Fantasy".

The video release comes with two bonus music videos of "One Sweet Day" and the "C&C Video Edit" of "Anytime You Need a Friend". Performances of "Vision of Love", "Make It Happen", "Fantasy", and "One Sweet Day" from this concert would later be compiled into audio release as official live versions on commercial/promo singles.
