Ella Fitzgerald Live at Mister Kelly's is a live album of a 1958 Ella Fitzgerald performance at Mister Kelly's, and released in 2007.

Released to coincide with the 90th anniversary of Fitzgerald's birth, this is one of several live albums that Fitzgerald recorded in the late 1950s. Sarah Vaughan had recorded an album at Mister Kelly's several months earlier.

It was a rare outing for several of the songs on this album. Fitzgerald had only recorded "Your Red Wagon" as a single and featured here are her debut recordings of "Witchcraft", "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" and "Across the Alley from the Alamo" among several others.
