Live Herald is a part live, part studio album by British progressive rock musician Steve Hillage released by Virgin Records in January 1979.

The live tracks were recorded at several concerts in England in 1977 and 1978, and the studio tracks, which occupied side 4 of the original vinyl release, were recorded in late 1978. On CD releases, the studio tracks were removed and added instead to the studio album Open, originally released later the same year.
