Cross Purposes Live is a live album recorded by the British metal band Black Sabbath. It was released in 1995. It is the only live-record with singer Tony Martin. It was available only as part of CD and VHS double-pack. The CD was housed within an oversize videotape-case but had its own inserts and jewel-case. It was recorded at the Hammersmith Apollo, London, on Wednesday 13 April 1994.

"Children of the Sea" was also played at the concert, being between "Children of the Grave" and "I Witness" in the running-order, but is not featured in the official release for reasons unclear. Rondinelli's drum solo also has a minute edited-out.

Both the original CD and VHS tape are out of print. There was an unlicensed DVD released with nine of the sixteen original video tracks, around an hour in running time. This release includes the promo videoclip of "Feels Good to Me", from the Tyr album.

In Dec 2010 an officially licensed by Eagle Rock Entertianment complete 87min version NTSC region 2 DVD was finally released in Japan only.
