Live from Deep in the Heart of Texas is an album by American rock band Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen.[4] It was recorded live at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, Texas in November 1973, and released in 1974. Unlike many live albums, it contains mostly new material and features only two previously released songs. It reached #105 on the Billboard 200 album sales chart.[5]

The album cover art is by Jim Franklin and depicts a flood of armadillos overwhelming a concert stage. More songs recorded at the Armadillo World Headquarters during these concerts were released on later albums, such as Sleazy Roadside Stories, but Live from Deep in the Heart of Texas is considered by many fans to be the group's best album.
