Debut Live is a live album by Icelandic singer Björk. While featuring live versions of songs from Debut, Debut Live does not feature the songs as performed during the Debut Tour from 1993-1994. Instead the majority of the CD comes from an acoustic performance of Debut at MTV Unplugged. Originally released in the 5 disc Live Box set in 2003, Debut Live was later released separately on 1 June 2004 by One Little Indian records.

Björk was unhappy with the Debut Tour, her first solo concert series after leaving The SugarCubes. As she explained in the documentary Minuscule, "I did auditions and hired session people and everybody did what they were told. We rehearsed very well and the first show was like that and all the other shows were like that. So it was very nailed down. And I made a promise through that tour that I would never do that again… because most of all if I had told everybody what to do and how to do it I walk on stage and I'm bored stiff." In 2002 when she began combing her archive of live material to be released the following year, she settled on a special performance of Debut for MTV's iconic Unplugged series of concerts. This show was performed a month after the Debut Tour concluded in late 1994 and features wildly different instrumentation and interpretations of the Debut songs.

Several artists joined Björk onstage, including Talvin Singh on tabla, Corky Hale on harp, Oliver Lake, the South Bank Gamelan Orchestra, and two artists who would become frequent collaborators: Guy Sigsworth and Leila Arab. Another collaboration would soon prove fruitful, that with deaf Scottish percussionist Evelyn Glennie. She and Björk went on to record a session together but only two of the songs have been released: "My Spine" (found on Björk's Post remix album Telegram in 1996) and "Oxygen" (found on Glennie's greatest hits album released in 1997).
