Three Cheers for the Broken-Hearted is the tenth studio album by American progressive rock band Glass Hammer, released on November 3, 2009. It is their last album with Susie Bogdanowicz, as the band would replace her with new singer Jon Davison before the release, although she would return starting with 2014's Ode to Echo. It is also their first album as a trio since 2000's Chronometree, and their last to date.

A musical departure for the band, it is a pop rock album with much less progressive elements than all their previous and following works. Three Cheers for the Broken-Hearted was originally conceived as a solo album for Steve Babb, until Fred Schendel convinced him to make it a Glass Hammer release instead.^[1] As the result, the album received mixed-to-negative reception from the fans of the band; although Babb and Schendel always defended the album, they later recognized that they should not have released it under the Glass Hammer moniker.^[2]
