"Lord of the Flies" is an Iron Maiden single and second track on their 1995 album The X Factor.

The song was written by guitarist Janick Gers and bassist Steve Harris and is based on the book and film of the same name.

Additional tracks on the single include covers from UFO and The Who.

Iron Maiden frequently performed this song live during their Dance of Death tour from 2003–2004,[4] making it one of only five Bayley era songs to remain in live set lists after his departure (the others being "Man on the Edge", "Sign of the Cross", "Futureal", and "The Clansman").

One such performance of this song is included on Iron Maiden's 2005 live album "Death on the Road".
