Live from Albertane is a live album by American pop rock group Hanson. As the name suggests, it is a live album, recorded during the group's Albertane Tour. Albertane is a fictional place (the capital city of the planet Mars) referred to in their song "Man from Milwaukee".

With the lead vocalist Taylor Hanson at age 15 at the time this album was recorded, his voice is noticeably deeper than in their previous releases. The song selection mostly focuses on the Middle of Nowhere album, but also contains some older material, a new track ("Ever Lonely") and a couple of covers of classic songs.

It peaked at #32 on Billboard 200 in 1998.^[1]
