The Right Here Right Now Tour was a 1993 concert tour by hard rock band Van Halen. The tour was promoting their live double album Live: Right Here, Right Now and the accompanying video Van Halen: Right Here, Right Now - Live. It was among the few tours to include numerous European dates. In the past, the band had tended to neglect European fans a great deal.

The tour was the shortest ever promotions undertaken by the band, if previous tours that were promoting the same album (e.g. the Monsters of Rock 1988 Tour and the OU812 Tour) were combined and the recent 2007 reunion tour's lack of actual promotion are taken into account. This was possibly since all the other tours were in promotion of albums of new material to advertise. This made for a more varied setlist than any previous tour and was the band's only 'greatest hits' tour until the 2004 and 2007 reunion tours.

Live albums typically do not sell nearly as well as studio ones and the commercial potential is lower. The lack of promotion may also have contributed to the album's relative lack of success however, being their lowest charting in America since 1981's Fair Warning and also lowest selling since then. The setlist did however, include the song Won't Get Fooled Again, not a Van Halen original.
