We Want Miles is a double album recorded by jazz trumpeter Miles Davis in 1981, produced by Teo Macero and released by Columbia Records in 1982. The album combines recordings from the first live appearances by Davis in more than five years, at Boston's Kix Club, on June 27, 1981.

The only live album from the 1980s released during Miles’s lifetime and one of the best of the era. Miles’s superb touring band of Mike Stern, Bill Evans, Marcus Miller, Al Foster and Mino Cinelu basically went on stage with little preparation and yet played with such strong cohesion.
