Dead of the Brain: Shiryou no Sakebi is a Japanese horror adventure game, developed by FairyTale [ja] and released in 1992 by IDES for the PC-9801. A port bundled with its sequel to the PC Engine CD was published by NEC in 1999, making it the final official PC Engine game to be released.

After the Saori incident (a scandal about erotic content in Japanese games caused by a teenager stealing a copy of the eroge Saori) and the arrest of the company's president for distribution of indecent material, FairyTale pivoted to violence-themed games. Thus, their Nightmare Collection series was formed, with Dead of the Brain its first title; other entries include the game's sequel and Marine Philt.

The game has received several English translation patches: One in 2019 and one in 2023 for the PC-98 version, and another one for the PC Engine in 2023.
