Reunion – Live in Tokyo is a live album by U.K. recorded in April 2011 during their first reunion tour and released in April 2013.

John Wetton and Eddie Jobson had performed three concerts in Poland in November 2009, as documented by the live album Ultimate Zero Tour – Live, released in November 2010. Afterwards, both Jobson and Wetton talked about a possible UK reunion tour in the first months of 2010. The first tour was finally announced in February 2011, with a line-up consisting of Jobson, Wetton, Alex Machacek and Marco Minnemann. Three performances at Club Città in Tokyo in April 2011 were professionally recorded and filmed and subsequently released as a double CD, DVD and DVD + CD.

The set list noticeably included a performance of the song "Nevermore", which was played live for the first time in the band's history, and two King Crimson Wetton-era tunes.
