Breaking God's Heart is the debut full-length album by British indie rock band Hefner. The album was originally released by Too Pure in 1998, and a reissue was released by Darren Hayman, the band's lead singer, in September 2007. The album's cover was designed by Hayman and Flirt.[2]

Breaking God's Heart made many "best of the year" lists in various music magazines in both the UK and the United States, but Hayman later said he thought the album was one of the band's worst.[2] For example, it was named the 46th best album of 1998 by NME.[3] In a 2017 retrospective piece, it was named the 25th best Britpop album by Pitchfork Media.[4]
