Pain in My Heart is het debuutalbum uit 1964 van de Amerikaanse Soulartiest Otis Redding. Het is de voorloper van The Great Otis Redding Sings Soul Ballads.

Het album bevat naast enkele covers ook vier door Redding geschreven nummers. Van Pain in My Heart werden tussen 1962 en 1963 4 singles uitgebracht: "These Arms of Mine", "That's What My Heart Needs", "Security" en de titelsong "Pain in My Heart".

Pain in My Heart is the debut album of soul singer-songwriter Otis Redding. Redding recorded for Volt Records, a subsidiary of Stax Records, based in Memphis, Tennessee. Volt LPs were initially issued on the Atco label, which released this album (the singles were issued on the Volt label). The title song was written and arranged by Allen Toussaint, under the pseudonym Naomi Neville.

The album includes four successful singles, released in 1962 and 1963: "These Arms of Mine", "That's What My Heart Needs", "Security", and the title track. Since Billboard did not publish an R&B singles chart from late 1963 to early 1965, the R&B chart peaks of the latter two singles are unknown.
