The Final Wave is the second live album released by Australian rock band Australian Crawl. It is a recording of the band's final concert on January 27, 1986. The album reached #16 on the Australian album charts upon it's release.[1]

The album cover features a copy of Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai's best known woodblock print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa. It was first published in 1832 (Edo Period) and is Hokusai's most famous work. It depicts an enormous wave threatening boats near the Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa; Mount Fuji can be seen in the background. The wave is probably not intended to be a tsunami, but a normal ocean wave created by the wind.
