"Sunday Concert" is Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot's fifth album, released in 1969 on the United Artists label. It was Lightfoot's first live album and until the release of a live DVD in 2002, remained Lightfoot's only officially released live recording. The album was recorded at Massey Hall in Toronto.

The album is notable as it includes performances of five previously unreleased tracks. It also contains the first recording of Lightfoot's hits "I'm Not Sayin'" and "Ribbon of Darkness" together as a medley. This medley would later feature on "Gord's Gold" and would become a concert staple. "Ballad of Yarmouth Castle" chronicles the fate of the SS "Yarmouth Castle" which caught fire and sank off the Bahamas in November, 1965.

"Sunday Concert" was Lightfoot's last recording for United Artists.
