"Out of the Silent Planet" is a single from the Iron Maiden album Brave New World, released in 2000.

The single features two live tracks from the 1999 Ed Hunter tour, which featured the band reunited with guitarist Adrian Smith and vocalist Bruce Dickinson, as well as the promotional video for "Out of the Silent Planet."

According to interviews with band members, the song was primarily influenced by the science fiction movie Forbidden Planet.

It's a peculiarity in that despite being one of only 2 singles from the album, this was not played on the majority of the accompanying world tour--only in a few encores in South America.

The music video is a recording of the band's European leg of their Brave New World Tour.
