Final Concert 10-28-14 is a live album by the rock group the Allman Brothers Band. It contains the complete concert recorded on October 28, 2014, at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. It was released for streaming and as a digital download on October 25, 2024, and as a three-disc CD on November 22, 2024.

As the title suggests, the album documents the last concert by the Allman Brothers Band, which formed in 1969. Early in 2014 they announced that they would disband before the end of the year. From October 21 to October 28 they performed a final run of six concerts at the Beacon Theatre. For the last show, they played an extended performance of three sets, with most of the songs selected from their first five albums.
