Still Reigning is a live performance DVD by the thrash metal band Slayer, released in 2004 through American Recordings.

The album was played in its entirety with the four original band members on a set resembling their 1986 Reign in Pain Tour. Still Reigning was voted "best live DVD" by the readers of Revolver magazine, and received gold certification in 2005.
