Sacred Fire: Live in South America is an album by Santana, released in 1993. This album is dedicated to the life of Cesar Chavez. The title, "Live in South America", is not correct, as the location of the concert production, Mexico City, is not located on the continent of South America.

There is also a video of this album, by the similar name of Sacred Fire: Live in Mexico, featuring additional songs not featured on the album. Produced by Paul Flattery and directed by Peter Nydrle. As well as the concert, the video features shots of Carlos playing guitar at various historic sites around Mexico City.

The album peaked at 181 in the Billboard 200.
