En Direct de L'Olympia was in 1966 the first album release by French singer Mireille Mathieu after her television performance in 1965 and debut run at the Paris Olympia in the same year. The arrangements and musical direction for this album were provided by the orchestra leader and composer Paul Mauriat.

Together with song writer André Pascal he also contributed "Mon crédo", "Purqoi mon amour" and "Viens dans ma rue" to this album.

Singles from this album, which appeared in gatefold format, such as "Mon crédo" and "C'est ton nom" made her a huge star in France and all over Europe while making her a big success in North America and Mexico.
