Live at Donington (released on VHS as Donington Live 1992) is a live album and video by the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, documenting their second headlining appearance at the Monsters of Rock festival at Donington Park, a motorsport circuit located near Castle Donington. The concert took place on 22 August 1992 during the Fear of the Dark Tour in front of a crowd of almost 80,000.

It was originally only released as a limited edition triple vinyl set, with a 2 disc CD release only in Brazil, Canada, Holland, Italy, South Korea, UK and Japan.[3] It spent a single week on the UK album chart.[4]

Guitarist Adrian Smith joins the band on this version of "Running Free".[5]

Live at Donington became a regular part of the band's CD catalogue with the 1998 reissues. Replacing the original plain white cover, with the band's logo in black, the 1998 reissue uses the original concert poster by Mark Wilkinson.[6] The track list was spread differently, to make room for a multimedia section on disc two.
