"Made in Japan" is a live album by English rock band Deep Purple, released in December 1972 in all of Europe and in May 1973 in the US. The album was recorded live over three nights during 15-17 August 1972 in Osaka and at Budokan in Tokyo, Japan, hence the name of the album. The tracks mostly come from their studio effort, "Machine Head". The three concerts recorded were later released as "Live in Japan" 3-CD box set (1993). According to the liner notes for that set, unlike many live albums, there are no overdubs or studio additions to the original album.

The remastered anniversary edition, issued in 1998, came with an extra CD of encores played on the tour in Japan.
