"Jagged Edge of a Broken Heart" is a song written by Walker Igleheart and Mike Joyce. It was originally recorded and released as a single by American country artist Gail Davies.

"Jagged Edge of a Broken Heart" was originally recorded in June 1984 at the "Emerald Sound Studio", located in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. The session was co-produced by Davies and Leland Sklar.[1] Released as a single of September 1984, "Jagged Edge of a Broken Heart" peaked in the twentieth position on the Billboard Magazine Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. It became her eleventh top-twenty single on the latter chart.[2] In addition, the single peaked within the top-forty on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.[3]

According to Davies' autobiography The Last of the Outlaws, "Jagged Edge of a Broken Heart" was played by radio as if it had been a top-five hit on the Billboard country chart. However, the single only reached the top-twenty.[4]
