Live at the Village Vanguard is a live album by American jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie featuring performances recorded in 1967 at the Village Vanguard and originally released on three separate LPs on the Solid State label, one under the "Vanguard" title and as two volumes entitled Jazz for a Sunday Afternoon. The recordings were subsequently re-released in unedited form as a 2-CD set on the Blue Note label in 1993.

The Allmusic review stated "These lengthy performances (all but one of the seven songs are over 11 minutes) contain some loose and rambling moments but also plenty of creative playing by this unusual group of all-stars".
