Iron Fist is the sixth album by the British speed metal band Motörhead.
This was the last album the band recorded with "Fast" Eddie Clarke, who left Motörhead on their second US tour due to a conflict with Lemmy. After his departure, the band drafted ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson to finish the tour.
Lemmy admitted that several of the album's tracks shouldn't have been released, due to their poor sound or quality; he attributes this in part to Eddie Clarke's co-production of the album. Despite this it reached number 6 in the UK charts.
