"A Real Dead One" is a live album by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, recorded in 1992/93 at concerts across Europe, and released on October 25, 1993. This album features songs from the very beginning of the band's career (1975) through the "Powerslave" era (1984), while counterpart "A Real Live One" only contains songs from the post-"Powerslave" albums.

When Iron Maiden re-released all their albums in 1998, this album was combined with "A Real Live One" to form the 2-disc "A Real Live Dead One".

The album cover was made by longtime Iron Maiden cover artist Derek Riggs, and depicts Eddie as a disc jockey in Hell, playing old Maiden tunes.

"Hallowed Be Thy Name" was released as a live single.

In 1998, when the remasters were released, a limited amount of copies of "A Real Live One" and "A Real Dead One" were sold separately, each being a facsimile of the original LP art, and both having The Soundhouse Tapes as a bonus disc. These copies are very rare and can only be found in specialty stores nowadays.
