For My Broken Heart is the seventeenth studio album by American country music singer Reba McEntire, released on October 1, 1991. It was the first studio album recorded after an airplane crash which killed most of the members of her touring band. The album is, as McEntire states in the album's notes, "a form of healing for all our broken hearts" and the songs were chosen to that effect.

The album was led off by its title track, which was followed by "Is There Life Out There". "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia", originally a 1972 hit for Vicki Lawrence, was also accompanied by a video when it was released as the album's third single. It became her highest-charting album on the Billboard 200 chart at that time, peaking at number 13. It is also one of McEntire's biggest-selling studio albums - selling 4 million copies.^[2]

The album debuted at number 4 for the week of October 19, 1991. It peaked at number 3 for the week of November 2, 1991. It stayed at number 3 for 7 consecutive weeks. It stayed in the Top Ten for 20 consecutive weeks. It was the first album by a female country artist to be certified 2× platinum by the RIAA.^[3]
