Bleeding Heart Yard is a cobbled courtyard off Greville Street in the Farringdon area of London, UK. The courtyard's name is said to commemorate the murder of Lady Elizabeth Hatton, whose body supposedly was found there on January 27, 1626. The story is an urban legend.

In the Charles Dickens novel Little Dorritt, the Plornish family lived in a house in Bleeding Heart Yard.

A popular French restaurant called The Bleeding Heart now occupies a number of the buildings in the Yard.
