The Last Concert is a live album by Rosemary Clooney, released through Concord Jazz in November 2002.

This was Clooney's first live album, and it brought an end to her fifty five year recording career.

The Allmusic review by William Ruhlmann awarded the album three stars and remarking on Clooney's final performance said that "Not surprisingly...there isn't anything about it to suggest finality specifically. But, as an appearance by a veteran performer with a long career to draw upon, it necessarily had a retrospective feel and, occurring only two months after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, it concluded with a reverent tone, Clooney's first recording of "God Bless America." Following an instrumental overture canvassing some of her better known songs (none of which she went on to actually sing in the show), Clooney opened with "Sentimental Journey," the first of her borrowings from other "girl singers," since it is associated with".
