The Union of Crowns is the second studio album by British metalcore band Bury Tomorrow. The album was released on 13 July 2012 through Nuclear Blast. It was produced by Antony Smith and Pedro Teixeira. It is also the last album to feature the band's founding lead guitarist Mehdi Vismara before he left the band in 2013. It was recorded within the first few months of 2012. The album's release was delayed several times by the band, in an attempt to find a record label who could provide international distribution simultaneously.

Upon release, the album received mixed to positive reception from critics. Whilst critics primarily praised the album's songwriting and its sonic progression from its predecessor, Portraits, negative criticism stemmed from the album's perceived lack of innovation within the metalcore genre, and an excessive length.
