Slade Alive! was a live album released by the British glam/hard rock band Slade. The album was released on March 24, 1972, and reached No. 2 on the UK Charts. This album included, probably, the first ever recorded stereophonic burp by Noddy Holder during the track "Darlin' Be Home Soon". It has also been consistently voted as one of the all-time Top 10 greatest live albums ever released.

The album contains original songs, plus cover versions of songs by Ten Years After, The Lovin' Spoonful, Bobby Marchan, and Steppenwolf.

In 2006 Salvo Records re-issued the tracks as part of the collection Slade Alive - the Live Anthology.
