My Shame Is True is the eighth studio album by Chicago-based rock band Alkaline Trio, released on April 2, 2013 on Heart & Skull and Epitaph Records. Produced by both Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore, the album was preceded by the single, "I Wanna Be a Warhol", and was released with an accompanying EP, Broken Wing, featuring four additional songs recorded during the same sessions.

Inspired by a recent romantic break-up, vocalist and guitarist Matt Skiba described the record as a "pseudo-concept album" and a catharsis," stating, "I just wrote this one more as a love letter to my ex-girlfriend, or an apology note set to music."[2] Following the album's release, Skiba noted that the album brought the couple back together.[3]

The album received mostly favorable reviews upon its release. My Shame Is True reached twenty-four on the Billboard 200.
