"Heart on a Wall" is a solo album by Blondie keyboardist and composer Jimmy Destri, released on Chrysalis Records in 1981.

After Blondie's 1980 album Autoamerican the members took a break from both recording and touring as a group. The band's three principal song writers, Deborah Harry, Chris Stein and Jimmy Destri instead recorded two solo projects; Harry and Stein the album "Koo Koo" with Chic's Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers and Destri his first solo album "Heart on a Wall". The album, produced by legendary movie composer/arranger Michael Kamen, features renowned musicians like guitarists Carlos Alomar (David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop), Tommy Morrongiello (Bob Dylan, Blue Öyster Cult) and Earl Slick (Bowie, John Lennon, Yoko Ono) as well as Blondie drummer Clem Burke and guest appearances by Chris Stein and Debbie Harry.

"Heart on a Wall" was released in the US, the UK and France (Chrysalis CHR-1368) as well as Australia and New Zealand (L-37774), West Germany (204 425-320) and the Netherlands (204 425). "Living In Your Heart" backed with "Don't Look Around" was also released as a 7" single in France (PB-8865).

"Heart on a Wall" remains unreleased on compact disc.
