Bring It Back Alive is a live album by American southern rock band Outlaws, released in 1978. It was released as a double album, and later re-released as a single CD. The album is best known for the twenty minute-long rendition of the song "Green Grass and High Tides" from the band's debut album.

Due to a printing mistake, early copies of the 8-track & cassette versions had the title Bring 'Em Back Alive. Although the cover of the vinyl version used the album's proper title (Bring It Back Alive), the labels on all four sides read Bring 'Em Back Alive as well.
