Description: Twin Peaks is a live album by hard rock band Mountain.

The revamped Mountain toured Japan, from which the album's material is culled. The original release was a double album consisting of a whole second disk (31 minute, 49 second, both sides) LP version of "Nantucket Sleighride", the first one holding all other tracks (the 2005 CD release on Repertoire Records restores this original order of tracks).
