London Live was a local television channel in London, England, which aired local news, current affairs, sports, arts, events, and entertainment. The channel launched in 2014 to serve the London area under the legislation for local television, and broadcast on Freeview and Sky.

The channel was owned by Russian oligarch Evgeny Lebedev, who was also the chairman and owner of both Evening Standard Ltd (publisher of the Evening Standard newspaper) and Independent Print Ltd (publisher of The Independent). In January 2025, the channel was bought by David Montgomery's Local TV Limited, leading to London Live's closure on 19 January 2025. It was replaced by Local TV's London TV.
