Dawn of the Black Hearts is a live bootleg album by the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem. It is infamous for bearing a photograph of Mayhem's vocalist, Dead (Per Yngve Ohlin), after his suicide in April 1991. This photograph was allegedly taken by Mayhem's guitarist, Euronymous (Øystein Aarseth), upon discovering Dead's body.

The album was originally released in 1995 by Warmaster Records. This original version contains eight songs from a concert in Sarpsborg on February 28, 1990. The cover artwork has golden letters.

The album has been reissued many times by various independent record labels. Most reissues add four songs to the end. These additional songs were recorded in 1986 at a concert in Lillehammer, with Maniac on vocals.
