Mourning Has Broken is the third and final full-length album by the British thrash metal band Sabbat, and the band's only album following the departure of singer and lyricist Martin Walkyier. The album is generally regarded as both a critical and commercial failure, and the band disbanded shortly after its release.

In a 2006 interview with Terrorizer magazine, Andy Sneap stated emphatically: ""I don't listen to this (Mourning Has Broken). There is some mad guitar playing on there; some of the shredding is ridiculous, but it sounds thrown together, which it was; it shouldn't have had the Sabbat name on it."

The denial of the album's legitimacy, indicated by its exclusion from the discography on the band's official website and its omission from the 2007 remastered CD reissue of the band's other two albums, means that the album cannot currently be considered canon.
