Led Zeppelin North American Tour Summer 1969

Led Zeppelin's Summer 1969 North American Tour was the third concert tour of North America by the English rock band. The tour commenced on 5 July and concluded on 31 August 1969.

By this point in the band's career, Led Zeppelin were earning $30,000 a night for each of the concerts they performed. According to music journalist Chris Welch:

"One New York concert drew 21,000 people, while support like the Doors and Iron Butterfly were consistently blown off stage by the rampaging Britons."

This concert tour is noteworthy for the number of festival appearances made by Led Zeppelin. These include:
 * 5 July – Atlanta International Pop Festival
 * 6 July – Newport Jazz Festival
 * 11 July – Laurel Pop Festival
 * 12 July – Summer Pop Festival
 * 21 July – Schaefer Music Festival – headliners at New York City's Wollman Rink, along with B.B. King
 * 25 July – Midwest Rock Festival
