Dark End of the Street is the second studio album recorded by Irish Celtic rock band Moving Hearts. The album features folk singer Christy Moore on most of the songs, except "Let Somebody Know", written and sung by Declan Sinnott.

Two versions of Dark End of the Street, with identical front covers, were released simultaneously as vinyl LPs in 1982: one was a studio album and the other was released in some countries as a compilation album, with a different track listing. The original studio album was re-released on CD in 1995.
