Cube E: Live in Holland is an album by the Residents released on November 8, 1994, by Restless Records as an audio CD.

Although not videotaped in its entirety, the project called The History of American Music in 3 E-Z Pieces was recorded almost in entirety and released as Cube-E: Live in Holland. The project featured the progression from cowboy songs and slave songs to their ultimate melding into rock and roll. The first two parts, Buckaroo Blues and Black Barry, had previously been released together on a cassette for UWEB fan club members, while most of the Elvis tracks had appeared on the previous year's The King and Eye. For space reasons, much of the narration of the last piece is missing.
