Dylan & The Dead is a collaborative live album by Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead, released in 1989 by Columbia Records. It was recorded in 1987, during a successful stadium tour of the same name. The album was produced by Jerry Garcia and John Cutler.

The album sold well, reaching #37 on the Billboard charts in the U.S., #38 in the UK, finally earning gold status in the United States. Still, most critics panned it as an extremely poor live document, and one of the low-points of both Dylan and the Grateful Dead's discographies. Unlike the actual tour, no Grateful Dead songs are featured, just seven classic Dylan tunes.
