Made in Japan is a live album by British hard rock band Deep Purple, released in December 1972. The album was recorded over three nights in August earlier that year. The tracks on the album mostly come from their studio effort, Machine Head. The three concerts recorded were later released as "Live in Japan" 3-CD box set. According to the liner notes for that set, unlike many live albums, there are no overdubs or studio additions to the original album.

On January 13, 2006, progressive metal outfit Dream Theater played the original album in its entirety at Kokusai Forum in Tokyo, and also on the 15th at NHK Hall in Osaka. Both performances were recorded, and one of the two shows will be released through the band's "Ytse Jam Records" label.
