Broken Valley is the fourth studio album from Life of Agony, the American alternative metal band. It came out in June 2005 on Epic and arrived eight years after Soul Searching Sun in 1997. It also reunited the original line-up for the first time since Ugly in 1995, so it works as both a comeback and a return to the group's early chemistry.

For anyone who has followed the band from River Runs Red onwards, that reunion is the main reason to listen. The record sits between the late-90s records and the later albums A Place Where There's No More Pain and The Sound of Scars. The UK release came later in the year through Hassle Records, with a limited edition that added a bonus DVD and an unreleased track from the sessions, "DNR".
