MTV Unplugged is a live album by the English alternative rock band Placebo. It was released on 27 November 2015, in the formats of CD, DVD, Blu-ray, double vinyl, limited edition double vinyl picture disc, digital download and limited edition super deluxe box set.[3] Recorded on 19 August 2015 at The London Studios, it is part of the MTV Unplugged series.[4]

Taking place during the band's 20th anniversary period, the performance featured a number of songs that were never played live before or not played live for several years, including "Bosco", "Jackie" and "Protect Me from What I Want". Among the instruments used on stage was a qanun purchased in Morocco.

During their MTV Unplugged concert, Placebo hosted two musical guests: Danish artist Broken Twin (Majke Voss Romme), with whom they performed "Every You Every Me", as well as the American Joan As Police Woman, who participated in a duet during "Protect Me from What I Want".
