"Live at the Fillmore — February 1969" is a live album released by American band The Byrds in 2000 on Columbia Records. This release was compiled from two performances at the famed Fillmore West over two nights in February 1969. The album includes several songs not to be found on the group's studio album releases.

Recorded as the band was releasing "Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde", the line-up of The Byrds on "Live at the Fillmore — February 1969" now included lead singer Roger McGuinn, lead guitarist Clarence White, bassist John York, and drummer Gene Parsons. The album features Clarence White's use of the Stringbender (see also B-Bender), which he co-invented with drummer (and banjo player) Gene Parsons. The Stringbender allowed White to sound like he's playing a pedal steel, while playing a regular electric guitar.
