'''''Iron Maiden''''' is the debut studio album by Music/IronMaiden, released in 1980. It is their only studio album to feature guitarist Dennis Stratton, who was sacked not long after the album's release, with "musical differences" being cited as the reason. He would be replaced by Adrian Smith, who joins the band in time for the following year's ''Music/{{Killers}}''.

Although the band members were later [[CreatorBacklash critical of the production of this album]], upon release this album was critically acclaimed and was an immediate commercial hit. It remains a popular album to this day, and is frequently included in Greatest Metal Album lists. Hits and fan favourites include the title track, "Phantom Of The Opera", "Running Free" and "Sanctuary".
