Live at Bestival 2012 is a live album by New Order, recorded in September 2012 at Bestival 2012, which was held at Robin Hill, Isle of Wight, England. It was released via Sunday Best on 8 July 2013.[1][5]

All the profits raised from the album will be donated to Isle of Wight Youth Truth, which offers support services for young people on the Isle of Wight.[5][6][7] The track listing features mostly a selection of greatest hits, such as "Bizarre Love Triangle" and "True Faith".[1][6] It also includes three Joy Division songs: "Isolation", "Transmission" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart".[8]

Like the previous live release, Live at the London Troxy, this album features Tom Chapman replacing former member Peter Hook on bass guitar.
