The '''iron cuirass''' is a recurring piece of armour in the {{DQSeries}} that first appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest V]]''. It is a mid-ranking piece of equipment that only covers the wearer's chest. Since it is not as cumbersome as a full suit of armour, it can be equipped by a wider range of characters and vocations.
