"The Jacksons Live!" is a live album by The Jacksons, recorded and released during their popular "Triumph" tour in 1981.

The live show featured songs from the group's Motown and CBS recordings, and also featured five songs from lead singer Michael's "Off the Wall" LP.

At this point, Michael, age twenty-three, was among the most popular performers in pop music, and The Jacksons had become legends in their own time and attained their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The "Triumph" tour would be the group's last tour together for four years, while Michael released the highly successful "Thriller" album and its singles in 1982 and 1983. In 1988, "Rolling Stone" magazine described the "Triumph" tour as one of the best 25 tours from 1967 to 1987.
