Used Heart for Sale is the debut album of American country music singer Gary Allan. It was released on September 24, 1996 on the Decca Records Nashville label. This was Allan's first studio album, and has been certified gold by the RIAA. It produced four singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts: "Her Man", "Living in a House Full of Love", "From Where I'm Sitting", and "Forever and a Day". While "Her Man" reached Top 10 on the country charts, none of the other three singles reached Top 40.

Several of the songs on this album are covers, including two of the singles. "Her Man" was previously recorded by Waylon Jennings on his 1990 album The Eagle, and "Living in a House Full of Love" was previously a number 3 hit for David Houston in 1965. Additionally, "Wine Me Up" is a cover of Faron Young's hit single.
