"Sea of Sorrow" is the fourth single by the grunge group Alice in Chains. It was released in 1991 and featured on their debut full-length album Facelift.

"Sea of Sorrow" was a moderate success and is still occasionally played on hard rock radio stations. Two videos for the single were created: the first which was the one the band eventually decided to release, is shot mostly in black and white. The second (and ultimately discarded) version in color and features the band playing in multicolored spotlights. Layne Staley also has most of his dreadlocks cut off, but some intact, giving him an odd hairstyle not seen in any other Alice in Chains videos. In both videos, about two minutes is cut from the song. The second part of Jerry Cantrell's solo is eliminated, as is the second verse.
