"Wounded Land" is the debut album from British progressive metal band Threshold, released in 1993. It is the first of two non-consecutive albums to feature vocalist Damian Wilson, who returned for 1997's "Extinct Instinct", and the only one to feature Tony Grinham on drums. It was rereleased as a Special Edition in 2001.

The songs deal with the issues of environmental destruction, drug abuse, the Gulf War and, in the bonus track "Intervention," the Bosnian War.
