Waking the Dead is the eighth studio album by American hard rock band L.A. Guns. Released in 2002, it was the last album featuring band founder Tracii Guns until he reunited with the band in 2017 and the first with bass guitarist Adam Hamilton.

The album includes "OK, Let's Roll" – dedicated to Todd Beamer and those who rushed the cockpit of Flight 93 during the events of September 11, 2001 attacks.

Though slated to be included, the Japanese edition was never officially released, leaving "Call of the Wild" unavailable.
