Absent Lovers: Live in Montreal is a live album (2-CD set) by the band King Crimson, recorded on July 11, 1984 and released in 1998. It is compiled from the early and late shows performed at the Spectrum in Montreal on the final night of their 1984 Three of a Perfect Pair tour. These were the band's final live performances until October 1994. The two complete shows were released in 2024 as the final release of the King Crimson Collector's Club.
