Iron armor is a pre-Hardmode armor set consisting of the Iron Helmet, Iron Chainmail, and Iron Greaves. Crafting a full set requires a total of (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 60 / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 75 Iron Bars ((Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 180 / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 225 Iron Ore). The full set grants 9 defense while equipped.

Its alternate ore counterpart is the Lead armor.

The Ancient Iron Helmet is functionally identical to and interchangeable with the Iron Helmet. The Ancient Iron Helmet has a 1/100 (1%) chance of being dropped by Skeletons and Spore Skeletons(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), and can also be obtained by dropping an Iron Helmet into Shimmer(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).

  • The Ancient Iron Helmet has the same sprite that the Iron Armor Helmet had prior to the 1.0.3 update, thus the term "Ancient".
