The Girlie Show: Live Down Under is a video album by American singer-songwriter Madonna. It was released by Warner Music Vision, Warner Reprise Video and Maverick Records on April 25, 1994 and included a date filmed at Sydney Cricket Ground on November 19, 1993 from The Girlie Show World Tour. The video was originally broadcast as a TV special on HBO in 1993 under the title Madonna Live Down Under: The Girlie Show. The concert was directed by Mark "Aldo" Miceli, who previously directed the TV specials Blond Ambition: Japan Tour 90 and the Barcelona TV special Madonna-Live! Blond Ambition World Tour 90 (live from Barcelona Olympic Stadium on August 1, 1990 and not the version from the HBO special). When re-released on DVD in 1998, the video was the first ever music video in this format along with another Warner Music title The Three Tenors in Concert.

The video release was originally aired as a television special, Madonna Live Down Under: The Girlie Show, on American network HBO and was the channel's most watched original program of the year. Initially, the November 20, 1993 show was to be filmed and aired, however, a massive storm forced the cancellation of the show, so the November 19 show (which had been taped the night before as a "safety show") was aired instead. Another television special aired in Japan only, entitled Madonna Live in Japan 1993: The Girlie Show, but was never released in any video format. In 1995 this title was nominated for the Grammy Award of Best Long Form Music Video. The DVD was certified gold in Brazil by the Associação Brasileira dos Produtores de Discos (ABPD) for shipment of 25,000 copies. Was also certified 3× platinum in Australia.
