"The Winding Sheet" is an album by American musician Mark Lanegan that was released in 1990. It was Lanegan's first solo work, and is notable in its departure from the characteristic sound of Screaming Trees, the band he fronted from 1985 until 2000. While the work done in that group was much more energetic and fit into the burgeoning grunge genre of the late 80s/early 90s, "The Winding Sheet" has a much more stripped down sound, defining Lanegan's solo work largely for the rest of the decade. The album was a modest success. The term "winding sheet" is a synonym of shroud.

The album showcases Lanegan's adept skills as a lyricist and his deep, soulful voice. Highlights include "Mockingbirds," "Ugly Sunday" ("I'm drunk, half blind and it's an ugly Sunday morning") and the haunting "Wild Flowers." On "Down in the Dark" good friend Kurt Cobain sings while on the Leadbelly classic Cobain contributes guitar and vocals and Krist Novoselic plays bass. Nirvana would later cover "Where Did you Sleep Last Night" on their "Unplugged" album.
