Sacred Hearts Club is the third studio album by American indie pop band Foster the People, released on July 21, 2017, through Columbia Records. The album was preceded by the extended play III, which is composed of three tracks from the album. Departing from the organic, acoustic sound of their previous 2014 album, it draws upon soul, dance, and electronic genres while maintaining their signature indie pop sound. The lyrics address themes of love, politics, fame, and youth, and, similar to their previous albums, are often at odds with the upbeat musical production. This is the band's first studio album to feature long-time touring musicians Isom Innis and Sean Cimino as official members, and their final album to feature drummer Mark Pontius before his departure in October 2021.

The album received mixed reviews upon release, with many critics praising the experimentation while disliking the album's lack of musical consistency. Despite the mixed reception, the album's single "Sit Next to Me" received positive reviews, peaked at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over two million copies across North America. The album has also been certified Gold in the United States.
