Operation: Livecrime (stylized as Operation: LIVEcrime) is a boxed set, covering the live performance of the album Operation: Mindcrime by the American heavy metal band Queensrÿche. It was released by EMI in 1991. After Queensrÿche toured in 1991 in support of Empire, record label EMI released this limited-edition set in two versions, one containing both a videocassette and a CD, the other containing both a videocassette and an audio cassette of live Operation: Mindcrime performances.

In 2001 the CD was re-mastered, with the rest of the Queensrÿche catalog following in 2003. The video was also re-released as a DVD, with the hidden bonus tracks "The Lady Wore Black" and "Roads to Madness", interviews and a graphic story of the album.
