Killing Ground is the fifteenth studio album by English heavy metal band Saxon, released in 2001. Killing Ground was also released as a special Digi-pack edition with a bonus disc featuring 8 classic re-recorded tracks which would later appear in Heavy Metal Thunder.

This is the last album to feature Firtz Randow on drums, and he left the band in 2004. The album received positive reviews, praising Saxon's heavy sound and catchy lyrics. Killing Ground demonstrated the band's ability to maintain their classic sound while updating their sound for modern musical demands, with some tracks that were well received by critics and fans alike, such as "The Court of the Crimson King" and "Coming Home".
