Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes is a role-playing game developed by the Nihon Falcom. It is the sixth game in the Dragon Slayer line of games, and the first in the The Legend of Heroes series.

The PC Engine version was released in the United States for the TurboGrafx-16; it would be the only game in the series released in the US until the PlayStation Portable remake of The Legend of Heroes IV: A Tear of Vermillion.

In 1998, a remake of The Legend of Heroes was bundled with a remake of Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes II, and released for both the PlayStation and the Sega Saturn.
