1000 Ways to Die is an American docufiction anthology television series that originally aired on Spike and later on Comedy Central from May 14, 2008, to July 15, 2012. The series dramatizes unusual deaths, some of which are based on true events or debunked urban legends. It features interviews with experts who discuss the scientific principles behind each case. Until the end of the first season, episodes concluded with real-life footage of near-fatal incidents and interviews with those involved.

Ron Perlman served as narrator beginning with the third episode, following Thom Beers's narration of the first two. "Shotgun Tom" Kelly later replaced Perlman for the final season.

The final four episodes were aired to complete the broadcast run, ending with "Death, The Final Frontier." The series was cancelled after a labor dispute between the producers and the network. A spin-off special, 1000 Ways to Lie, aired once in 2010, and a graphic novel adaptation was later released.
