The World Slavery Tour was a concert tour by the heavy metal band Iron Maiden from August 9, 1984 to July 5, 1985. It was one of the longest tours in rock history. Though the tour itself was very successful, by its end in 1985, it had left the band exhausted and led to a break for the rest of the year before the band started work on Somewhere In Time in 1986.

Some of the original props from the tour, like the sarcophagi, can be seen in Eddie's Bar in Portugal.

Iron Maiden's live album "Live After Death" was recorded during this tour, during the band's four shows at London's Hammersmith Odeon in October 1984 and four shows at the Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California in March 1985.

The band's current tour, the "Somewhere Back In Time World Tour", has a set that is very similar to that used on the World Slavery Tour.
