Hammersmith Odeon London '75 is both a concert video and the fourth live album by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, released in 2006 (see 2006 in music). It is a full-length recording of their performance on 18 November 1975 at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, during their Born to Run tours. It was first released as a DVD on November 14, 2005 as part of the Born to Run 30th Anniversary Edition package, and then several months later on February 28, 2006 released as an audio CD.

The concert was part of Columbia Records' push to promote Springsteen in the United Kingdom and Europe following the success of the Born to Run album in the United States. The large amount of publicity accompanying these appearances, especially the one in London, famously caused Springsteen to react badly and run about pulling down promotional posters proclaiming "Finally London is ready for Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band."

This performance itself is notable for a large stocking cap that Springsteen wore and continually fussed with, and for featuring more lead guitar work from Steven Van Zandt than would ever been seen in Springsteen concerts again.

The album debuted on the Billboard 200 album chart on March 18, 2006 at number 93 with sales of approximately 12,000 copies sold. It spent 2 weeks on the chart.
