The Girlie Show - Live Down Under is a live music video title by singer Madonna. It was released by Warner Music Vision on April 25, 1994 and included one of the Girlie Show dates filmed at Sydney Cricket Ground on November 19, 1993.

It was originally aired as a television special on American network HBO and was its most watched original program of the year[1]. Initially, the November 20, 1993 show was to be filmed and aired. However, a massive storm forced the cancellation of the show, so the November 19 show (which had been filmed as a "safety show") was aired instead. Another television special was aired in Japan only, Live in Japan 1993 - The Girlie Show, it was never released in any video format. [2] In 1995 this title was nominated for the Grammy award of Best Long Form Music Video.
