"Sacred Heart" is an album by Peter Ostroushko, released in 2000. It is the final part of the trilogy Ostroushko calls his "heartland trilogy" — "Heart of the Heartland", "Pilgrims on the Heart Road", and "Sacred Heart". In contrast to the first two albums, "Sacred Heart" is completely instrumental.

Allmusic stated "Sacred Heart" is always presenting different styles to the listener, even within the same piece, and each seems fully realized before giving way to the next. It's a multi-course meal that keeps surprising the palate and leaves the listener feeling satisfied but not overstuffed."
