On Broadway is a live album (2-CD set) by the band King Crimson, released through the King Crimson Collectors' Club in July 1999. It is drawn from recordings of the band's five-night stand at the Longacre Theatre, New York City on November 20, 21, 22, 24 and 25, 1995, when they were touring to promote the THRAK album.

Some of these recordings also feature on Disc 1 of the 2001 release Vrooom Vrooom. The final track, "Fearless and Highly THRaKked", also features on the 1996 album THRaKaTTaK, and on the aforementioned Vrooom Vrooom as "Biker Babes of the Rio Grande".

Lead singer and guitarist Adrian Belew performed The Beatles' "Free As A Bird" as a solo piece throughout the Broadway engagement. This was not included on the album, but was released on Belew's solo album Belew Prints and on Vrooom Vrooom.

The album includes lines notes by Robert Fripp, the band's other guitarist.
