Zazen Xstasy (, Zazen Ekusutashii^?, Zen Meditation Ecstasy) was a live show performed by Japanese musician Sheena Ringo at the Kaho Theater (Kaho Gekijou (嘉穂劇場, kaho gekijou^?) in Iizuka City, Fukuoka. The event took place on July 30, 2000. The event's official name is "Shiina Ringo Jitsuen Kyūshū Zazen Ekusutashī (椎名林檎 (稀)実演キューシュー 座禅エクスタシー, Shiina Ringo (mare) Jitsuen Kyūshū Zazen Ekusutashii^?, Shiina Ringo (rare) Kyushu Performance Zen Meditation Ecstasy)".

A video recording of the event was released on DVD by EMI Music Japan on September 17, 2008 as part of the celebration for the 10th anniversary of Ringo Sheena's debut.

The Kaho Theater was built in a traditional Japanese architecture style and could accommodate up to 1,000 people. Due to the high demand that exceeded its capacity, tickets for the concert were sold by lottery. The high demand for tickets resulted in many being sold at auction for a higher price. Toshiba EMI broadcast a live-stream of the performance, which was viewed by approximately 17,300 people, a new national record in Japan.

Sheena invited fans who had not managed to get tickets to play extras in the filming of the PV for Yattsuke Shigoto on July 28, where band members had a dress rehearsal before the public performance. Inspired by a rock band vocalist who told his fans to "wear black to tomorrow's show" and then didn't wear black himself, Sheena asked all the guests to wear red for the day. No music was recorded during filming. The track used in the video was the recording from the performance at Shibuya Public Hall on April 15, 2000 from the "Gekokujou Xstasy" tour. Thus, at the end of the video, the beginning of another song, "Benkai Debussy", can be heard.
