"Greasy Truckers Live at Dingwalls Dance Hall" is a 1973 live double album by Various Artists recorded at an October 1973 Greasy Truckers concert at the Dingwalls Dance Hall at Camden Lock in Camden Town, London. The concert featured four bands, Camel, Henry Cow, Global Village Trucking Co. and Gong, and was recorded on Virgin Records' "Virgin Mobile".

Notwithstanding its title, not all the tracks on the album are from the Dingwells Dance Hall concert. Due to delays in starting the event and a 2am curfew, Henry Cow's set (billed last) was curtailed to 10 minutes, and their contribution here was recorded a week later at Virgin's Manor Studio. The first Gong track was recorded at an open air festival at Tabarka, Tunisia in June 1973, and the second was recorded live at Sheffield City Hall in Sheffield, England in October 1973.

Greasy Truckers were "a loose organisation of individuals whose ideals were based on those of the Diggers in San Francisco, recycling money into worthwhile causes."

All proceeds from the concert and LP sales went to Greasy Truckers.
