In　order　to　increase　the　resource　utilization　rate　of　iron-rich　waste　residues　and　produce　functional　high　value-added　products,　the　research　progress　of　glass-ceramics　from　iron-rich　waste　residues　in　recent　years　was　reviewed,　covering　the　materials　with　non-magnetic　and　magnetic　properties.　The　composition-structure-properties-application　interrelationships　of　the　iron-rich　glass-ceramics　are　systematically　elaborated.　For　the　non-magnetic　iron-rich　glass-ceramics,　the　effects　of　sintering　atmosphere　and　iron　ion　valence　on　the　structure　and　properties　will　be　summarized.　For　the　magnetic　iron-rich　glass-ceramics,　three　representative　materials,　i.e.,　magnetite-based,　bariumferrite-based　and　zincferrite-based　glass-ceramics,　will　be　introduced.　Especially,　the　effect　of　iron　oxide　on　the　structure　and　properties　of　magnetite-based　glass-ceramics　will　be　explored.　Finally,　the　problems　of　single　function　of　iron-rich　glass-ceramics　and　the　lack　of　theoretical　studies　are　pointed　out　and　the　research　direction　of　iron-rich　glass-ceramics　is　prospected.　©　2022　Editorial　Office　of　Journal　of　Ceramics.　All　rights　reserved.
