S&M is a live album by the American heavy metal band Metallica, recorded live with the San Francisco Symphony on April 21-22 of 1999.

The set list contains songs from Ride the Lightning through ReLoad, as well as two new songs: "? Human" and "No Leaf Clover". "? Human" ("Minus Human") has never been performed without the symphony, but "No Leaf Clover" has been played live with a recording of the orchestral prelude.

Composer Michael Kamen scored the symphonic arrangements, and conducted the orchestra during the concert.

The album's title is a play on words. The "S" (ostensibly for "symphony") is formed from a backwards treble clef, while the "M" (ostensibly for "Metallica") is taken from the band's classic logo. S&M is also a well-known abbreviation for sadomasochism.

During the show Hetfield re-named the song "Of Wolf and Man" to "Of Wolfgang and Man" in a reference to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

All songs written by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich except where noted.
