El Mocambo 1977 (also referred to as Live at the El Mocambo) is a live album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on 13 May 2022. It was recorded on 4 and 5 March 1977 at the El Mocambo club in Toronto, Canada.[1] The club had a capacity of 300, and the gigs were "secret", with winners of a contest invited to see Canadian rock band April Wine with support from a group called "the Cockroaches", who were actually the Stones. The set promoted the band's then-most recent studio album Black and Blue (1976); most tracks were taken from the second night (5 March), with only three from the first night.[2]

It was the first release from the Rolling Stones since the August 2021 death of drummer Charlie Watts.
