The Last Roundup is the 21st album, and third live album, by the country rock band Poco.

Recorded live in July 1977 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium during the Indian Summer tour (and "The Dance" done the same month at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, accompanied by an orchestra), it was intended to be the band's 13th album. However, its release was cancelled by ABC Records after Timothy B. Schmit left the band to join The Eagles. Poco had intended this album to counteract the damage done to the band's career by the release of Poco Live by their former label, and Richie Furay made a special guest appearance on the album in an effort to boost the album's appeal. It contains mainly music from the post-Furay era. This was Furay's first appearance with the group since his departure after Crazy Eyes.
