At San Quentin is a recording of a live concert given by Johnny Cash to the inmates of San Quentin State Prison. As well as being released on record the concert was filmed by Granada Television.

On the original LP release, the song order was changed and several songs were cut, probably for space reasons. The version released on CD in 2000 contains the entire concert uncut and in the original order.
