Fan the Flame (Part 1) is the fifth studio album from dance music band Dead or Alive in 1990. Their prior album Nude was a commercial and critical disappointment, except for in Japan. Thusly, Epic Records released Fan the Flame (Part 1) in Japan only. To this day it is still available only as a Japanese import.

The album contains a slight change in musical style for Dead or Alive, best known for Hi-NRG and disco songs. Fan the Flame (Part 1) contains more mid-tempo songs and melancholy lyrical content. The male background vocals on this album were performed by British pop band Londonbeat.

The songs "Unhappy Birthday" and "Gone 2 Long" were later re-recorded as uptempo dance tracks for Dead or Alive's next album Nukleopatra.
