"In My Darkest Hour" is a song by American thrash metal band Megadeth. It was the second single from Megadeth's third album, So Far, So Good...So What! (1988). According to the liner notes of the remastered album, band leader Dave Mustaine wrote "In My Darkest Hour" in one sitting after learning of the death of former bandmate, Metallica bassist Cliff Burton in September, 1986. Mustaine was quoted in various magazines and Megadeth's Behind the Music as saying the song was inspired by Burton's passing.
A music video was released for "In My Darkest Hour." It features clips of the band performing the song both live and in studio. MTV refused to air the video for the song, believing that the lyrics refer to suicide. The video does appear, however, in the documentary The Decline of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years and has since aired on music channels.
