Sentimental Killer is a March 1992 album by Irish jazz singer Mary Coughlan under East West Records, a subsidiary of Warner Music Group which was at the time known as WEA.

The song "Magdalene Laundry" written by J Mulhern has the chorus line "Ooh Lord won't you let me wash away the stain", and refers to the Magdalen Asylums run by the Roman Catholic Church in which Irish prostitutes, unmarried mothers, developmentally-challenged women and abused girls were incarcerated indefinitely.
