"AC/DC: Let There Be Rock" is a live concert motion picture featuring the Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released theatrically in September 1980 (see 1980 in music). It features the original, Bon Scott-led version of the band. The film was also released on videotape the same year. It was filmed at the Pavillon de Paris in Paris, France on 9 December 1979 (see 1979 in music), and also contains interviews with members of the band.

Though it shares a name with AC/DC's fourth studio album, "Let There Be Rock", the movie also includes live versions of songs from "High Voltage" (Australian), "T.N.T.", "Powerage", and "Highway to Hell". The movie's poster and videotape package featured similar cover art to that used on the international and current Australian editions of the "Let There Be Rock" album.

In 1997 (see 1997 in music), an expanded audio recording of this concert was released on CD as "", on discs 2-3 of the Bonfire box set. In addition to the 13 tracks included on the movie, the CD also contains a live version of "T.N.T.".
