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.^[1] 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.^[1]

This concert tour is noteworthy for the number of festival appearances made by Led Zeppelin.^[2] These include:^[3]
