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.
