<jats:p> The electrical conductivity of shock-compressed iron was measured up to 208 GPa by using an improved design in experiment assembly in which the iron sample was encapsulated in a single-crystal sapphire cell. High-pressure shock compressions were generated by the plate impact technique with the two-stage light-gas gun. The measured conductivity of iron varies from 1.45×10<jats:sup>4</jats:sup> Ω<jats:sup>-1</jats:sup> cm<jats:sup>-1</jats:sup> at 101 GPa and 2010 K to 7.65×10<jats:sup>3</jats:sup> Ω<jats:sup>-1</jats:sup> cm<jats:sup>-1</jats:sup> at 208 GPa and 5220 K. After examining these data together with those reported, we found that the Bloch-Grüneisen expression is still valid at high pressures and temperatures, even up to 208 GPa and 5220 K, at least for ε-iron, which is significant in the field of condensed matter physics and deep interior earth science.</jats:p>
