Live at the Continental and the Esplanade is a live album by Australian rock musician, Paul Kelly, which was originally available, from late 1995, by mail order only from Mushroom Records' White Records Label in Australia.

By June 1996 the album was available in Australian stores on Mushroom Records and, on 23 July, it was issued by Vanguard Records in the United States.

In July 1994, Australian musician, Paul Kelly, released his third solo album, Wanted Man. On 19 and 20 September, Kelly and his band performed at the Continental Hotel in Prahran, the sessions were recorded live.

On 29 May 1995, Kelly had returned to Melbourne and recorded more live tracks at the Esplanade Hotel's Gershwin Room. Kelly released his next album, Deeper Water in September.
