Led Zeppelin's Autumn 1969 North American Tour was the fourth concert tour of North America by the English rock band. The tour commenced on October 17 and concluded on November 8, 1969.

This tour is notable for the fact that Led Zeppelin were the first pop act to perform at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York since the Rolling Stones in the mid-1960s, [ [http://ledzeppelin.com/show/june-17-1969 Led Zeppelin official website: concert summary] ] and also for their three performances at Bill Graham's Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco (the alternate larger venue offered to those bands which pulled crowds too large for the smaller Fillmore West venue).Lewis, Dave and Pallett, Simon (1997) "Led Zeppelin: The Concert File", London: Omnibus Press. ISBN 0-7119-5307-4, p. 38.]

Another significant concert which took place during this tour took place at the Boston Garden on June 25. [ [http://ledzeppelin.com/show/june-25-1969 Led Zeppelin official website: concert summary] ] For this gig, the band performed to an audience of 15,000 and grossed $45,000. It was a pre-cursor to the scale of concerts the band would perform on future tours, where they regularly filled large auditoriums and stadiums. The band's manager, Peter Grant, later commented:

The band released their hugely-popular second album on 22 October, 1969, part-way though this tour.

The fairly typical set list for the tour was:
