Live at Knebworth, also known as Live Summer 2003 with different cover text, is a live album by English pop singer Robbie Williams, recorded and released in 2003. The album is his first live album, and is a compilation of songs performed during three consecutive shows at Knebworth, England on 1–3 August 2003.

The three shows attracted a total of 375,000 fans, becoming the "biggest music event in British history". It is the second fastest and biggest selling live album ever in the United Kingdom behind William's former band Take That's live album The Greatest Day. It has been certified 2x Platinum by the IFPI for sales over 2 million copies.

The DVD released of that Summer's three performances at Knebworth Park was entitled What We Did Last Summer, a reference to the film I Know What You Did Last Summer. It went on to sell 350,000 in the United Kingdom. In Australia, the DVD went on to sell 165,000 copies, 25,000 more than the actual album.

Williams' former Take That band mate Mark Owen was invited to perform "Back for Good" on stage with him at Knebworth. This was the first time the two had performed together since the band split in 1996. After performing with Williams, Owen returned to the spotlight signing a deal with Island/Universal Records.

Between-song banter and various mini-songs can be found between some of the songs on the album in pregaps. Here is a list of the pregaps.

In Mexico and Argentina, EMI Music sent a promotional CD to radio stations featuring "Feel" and "Angels" live from the show.

The album was recorded in three evenings in Knebworth and then cut. The set lists for the three performances were:
