Considered Dead is the debut studio album by Canadian death metal band Gorguts. It was released on October 8, 1991, by Roadrunner Records, whom the band signed with after the release of their 1991 demo ...And Then Comes Lividity. The album features guest vocals by Chris Barnes of Cannibal Corpse on three tracks, as well as a guest guitar solo by James Murphy, who has performed with Death, Obituary, and Testament.

The track "Hematological Allergy" was first released on the band's demo ...And Then Comes Lividity.{{cite magazine |author= |date=1991 |title=Gorguts |url=https://archive.org/details/disposable_underground_03/page/n7/mode/2up |magazine=Disposable Underground |location=Sterling, Virginia |publisher=Richard Johnson |volume=1 |issue=3 |page=7 |issn=1072-9674 |oclc=29236005}}

Considered Dead was later remastered, reissued and paired with its successor, The Erosion of Sanity, as part of Roadrunner's Two from the Vault series, in 2004. It was reissued alone in 2006 with two demo tracks by Polish label Metal Mind Productions.
