Every Brilliant Eye is the third album by Australian rock band Died Pretty. It was released in 1990 and produced by Jeff Eyrich, whose previous production credits included The Gun Club, The Plimsouls and T Bone Burnett.

The album was recorded in Los Angeles at the close of a tour of Europe and the United States. It was the first to feature new keyboardist John Hoey (ex-X-Men, Thought Criminals and New Christs) following the departure of long-time member Frank Brunetti and bassist Steve Clark (ex-Glass), who replaced Mark Lock.
