Live at Winterland '68 is an album by Janis Joplin with her band Big Brother and The Holding Company. It was recorded at the Winterland Ballroom on April 12, 1968, and April 13, 1968 and includes live renditions of songs from their studio albums.

The return to San Francisco comes after a successful tour in the east coast. Acts like B. B. King and Albert King would open for the band during the tour. This album has lengthier renditions of their associated songs including "Light Is Faster Than Sound" extending over 7 minutes. Overall, the recordings are just another instance of the band's growing interest. Cheap Thrills, the band's breakthrough album, has many tracks played live on this recording.
