Live One is the first live album by Australian-New Zealand rock band Dragon. The album was recorded on 10 August 1984 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre during the promotion of the Body and the Beat album. Live One was released in June 1985[1] and peaked at number 62 on the Australian Kent Music Report.

The album is dedicated to Paul Hewson, who appeared as part of the group on the recording, but who had died in early 1985. The album was also the last new Dragon recording to feature guitarist Robert Taylor, bookending Taylor's ten-year membership of the group. It also spelt the end of Terry Chambers' involvement with Dragon.
