Live: Madison Square Garden Center (1970) is the fourteenth album by Bill Cosby.

The entire album was ad-libbed on stage at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. The album features highlights from two shows of February 7, 1970 (which Cosby performed in a cast on his right foot due to a recent injury to his ankle.)
