RFK Stadium, Washington, D.C. 6/10/73 is a live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains the complete concert recorded at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium in Washington, D.C., on June 10, 1973. It was released as a four-disc CD on June 30, 2023, and as an eight-disc LP on July 28, 2023.

At this concert, the warm-up bands were Wet Willie and the Allman Brothers Band. Even by the band's standards, this is a long Dead show: a first set of over an hour and forty minutes; a two-hour second set; and an hour-long encore. Joining the Grateful Dead onstage for that third set of music were Dickey Betts and Butch Trucks from the Allman Brothers Band.

The song "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" was previously released on the album Postcards of the Hanging. The songs "Bird Song" and "Here Comes Sunshine" were previously released on day 10 of the digital download event 30 Days of Dead 2011 and day 25 of 30 Days of Dead 2017 respectively.

The June 10 concert recording was also released on June 30, 2023 as part of the five-show, 17-CD box set Here Comes Sunshine 1973.
