12 Gardens Live is a Sony music compilation of songs performed by American singer/songwriter Billy Joel during a former record run of twelve sold-out concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City in early 2006. It was released on June 13, 2006.

Although some of the singer's best known hits are on the album, many of them are transposed into a different key (often lower) to preserve Joel's deepening voice for the duration of the tour. This is also the first time Joel's signature song "Piano Man" has appeared on a live album.
