Filthy Lucre Live is a 1996 live album by the reformed Sex Pistols. The album was recorded live at London's Finsbury Park on 23 June 1996 during the band's Filthy Lucre Tour. BBC Radio 1 broadcast the concert live, featuring the complete show, including the final encore of "No Fun". "No Fun" was not included on the standard edition of the album; however, it was included in as an exclusive bonus track on Filthy Lucre Live's release in Japan, making the EMI-released Japanese edition the only release to include the complete show in its entirety.

Reviews at the time suggested that there had been a number of overdubs done regarding the vocals and guitars.
