War Child Presents Heroes is a 2009 charity album devoted to the War Child charity's aid efforts in war-stricken areas, such as Iraq, Uganda, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

With a theme of "placing faith in the next generation," the concept of the album is to have music legends select a track from their own canon and nominate an artist from the next generation to create a modern reworking of that song.

[6] The album was recorded over six months in London, Manchester, Paris, Berlin, New York, and Los Angeles,[7] and mastered at Abbey Road Studios in North London.

While initial reports indicated the album would be released on 24 November 2008, on 7 October, it was announced that the release date would be pushed back to February 2009 due to an overwhelming interest from musicians hoping to contribute to the compilation.

The album has a different sequence in North America, including an additional track by Adam Cohen.
