King of Hearts is a posthumous album of American singer Roy Orbison's songs put together from master sessions and demos by Jeff Lynne for Virgin Records, and Orbison's 23rd album overall.

According to the authorized Roy Orbison biography,[7] the collection was originally released in October 1992 on CD, music cassette, and LP.

Orbison died on December 6, 1988, aged 52, from a heart attack in the middle of his career revival.

In January 1989, his new studio album Mystery Girl, on which Orbison had been working until his death, was released.

Several songs on King of Hearts had been recorded during the Mystery Girl sessions, and there was enough material for another album.
