Death on the Road is a live CD, LP, and DVD released by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden on August 30, 2005 (CD & LP version), respectively on February 6, 2006 (DVD version). It contains songs which were performed at Westfalenhalle, Dortmund, Germany, on 24th November 2003 during the band's Dance of Death Tour (2003–05). The latest of the band's many live albums, it is not as large as the Rock in Rio crowd from the previous live album but noteworthy for being the most current recording of their sound. However, since Iron Maiden have released so many live albums this double album only features seven new songs.

During the first week after the album's release, it entered the national charts in several countries; Finland (no. 6), Sweden (no. 7), Norway (no. 12), France (no. 14), Italy (no. 17), Switzerland (no. 17), Spain (no. 18), United Kingdom (no. 22), Ireland (no. 27),the Netherlands (no. 39), India (no.29) [1].

The DVD was released on February 6th, 2006. It is a 3 DVD set, with the first DVD being the concert in 5.1 Digital audio, the second DVD being the concert in stereo, and the third DVD being special features, including the documentary listed above, and all promo videos from the Dance of Death album. Reportedly, the second DVD of the set is faulty in many cases.

The DVD set features a full 70-minute documentary directed by Matthew Amos charting the album's creation and the subsequent preparations for the following tour. The feature length program includes candid and personal footage of the band during the recording and writing of the album, which is the first time it's ever been filmed.

In 2005 when Edward the Great was re-released the recording of "Fear of the Dark" from this album was included.

The cover was by Melvyn Grant.
