Machine Fucking Head Live is the third live album by American heavy metal band Machine Head. It was released on November 13, 2012, under Roadrunner Records.^[2] It is the final release to include bassist Adam Duce who left the band in early 2013. The album was recorded at Central, Manchester on December 6, 2011^[3] (except Locust & Halo recorded at SECC, Glasgow on December 5, 2011^[4]).

Frontman Robb Flynn said, "The Head Cases [Machine Head's nickname for their fans] have been so intense on this tour cycle that we had to start capturing the shows, especially with technology making it so much easier to record".^[2] "We culled some of the best nights where the band and crowd were on fire and made a badass, nearly two-hour, double live album, which is a great documentation of where the band is at, 18 years deep."^[2]
