Mercyful Fate est un groupe de Heavy Metal danois fondé en 1981.

Mercyful Fate est reconnu au sein du milieu Metal pour avoir inspiré nombre de groupes de Thrash Metal et initié en partie les aspects visuels du Black Metal.

Certains puristes citent régulièrement Mercyful Fate, avec Venom, Bathory et Celtic Frost, comme étant l'un des groupes fondateurs du genre Black Metal.
