The University of Leeds Refectory is a 2,100-capacity music venue located on the University of Leeds main campus in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.In the mid-20th century, the building operated as the university's main canteen. Notable past performers include The Who (who recorded the landmark live album Live at Leeds there), Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, and Thin Lizzy. Other examples taken from the list of performances in 1971 and 1972 are Traffic (1971), Elton John (1971), Leon Russell (1971), The Rolling Stones (1971), The Kinks (1971), Rory Gallagher (1971), Rod Stewart (1971), The Moody Blues (1971), Ten Years After (1972), Mountain (1972), Paul McCartney and Wings (1972), Black Sabbath (1972), Procol Harum (1972), Jeff Beck (1972), Jethro Tull (1972), Queen, Leonard Cohen (1972) and Donovan (1972).

A commemorative blue plaque has been placed at the campus venue at which it was recorded, the university refectory. A Rolling Stone readers' poll in 2012 ranked it the best live album of all time.
