Total Abandon: Australia '99 is a double live album and DVD by British hard rock band Deep Purple, recorded at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Australia on 20 April 1999. Initially the album was available only in Australia (from Sept 1999). From 12 October 1999 it was made available as a mail order merchandise in Europe and later was also sold in music stores. In USA the album wasn't released until 2012 (this edition was cut to only one disc).

The album was accompanied in Australia by two collector edition singles: "Smoke On The Water" with disc cut into shape of the Australian continent, and "Black Night", which disc was manufactured in shape of the DP logo.

The VHS/DVD was originally available only in Australia and as a mail order merchandise. It was re-released in Europe in 2003 with additional documentary A.Band.Down.Under which previously had been released only on VHS. The 1999 DVD edition of the album went platinum in Australia becoming Deep Purple's commercially most successful DVD/video release in that country.
