Riot Live is the first official extended play live recording by New York City heavy metal band Riot. Released in 1982, it followed on the heels of Restless Breed, the group's first studio album with vocalist Rhett Forrester. It was issued with different cover artwork in Europe.[2]

While never made available on CD as a stand-alone release, the EP was included as bonus tracks on the 1997 Restless Breed CD re-issue by Germany's High Vaultage label. On the contrary, the 6 songs were left off the 1999 U.S. Restless Breed re-issue on Metal Blade Records.
