12 Gardens Live is a Sony music compilation of songs performed by American singer/songwriter Billy Joel during a record run of twelve sold-out concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City in early 2006. It was released on June 13, 2006.

Although some of the singer's best known hits are on the album, many of them are transposed into a different key (often lower) to accommodate Joel's deepening voice. This is the first time "Piano Man" has appeared on a live album, despite being Joel's signature song.
